“Broadchannel” by Mia Martelli
April 26, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
“Broadchannel” is a solo by Mia Martelli that visits childhood bedroom performance-making.
The early 2000s-era sounds, drawings, lighting, poems, and unfinished choreographies created in private are put on display and repurposed as a platform for contemporary questions around aging, spirituality, and environmental collapse.
Improvised dances emerge in response to the rhythm, colors, and temperatures of the newly subtropical waterways of South Brooklyn and the Rockaway Peninsula. The rapture – dolphins breaching in the Gowanus Canal – and horror – six-foot-wide whirlpools flooding the same neighborhood – serve as non-fiction mythology, shaking the prospect of building a future in a place surrounded by water.
RSVP for the performance here. FREE, donations encouraged.
