kin • song: ode to disability ancestors
by University of Texas Theatre & Dance

Dec. 02 - Dec. 10, 2021

 

kin • song: ode to disability ancestors is a digital performance ritual, a cybernetic seance. Through monologue, dialogue, puppetry, song and dance, we will join creative forces to call upon the ghosts of our disability ancestors, waking them from their unmarked graves to join us in an act of mourning, celebration and care. Here, in the sacred timespace of performance, we will name them, claim them and honor their brilliance, all before (finally) laying them to rest. 

Conceived and directed by Alexis Riley
