I AM IN A BASEMENT (2020)

I AM IN A BASEMENT creates an atmosphere of mystery through rigorous choreographic investigations of inheritance and memory. It is an anthem: a charged work of intertemporal reflection, loneliness, and boldly physical perseverance. Haunted by ghosts, treasures, and a broad hemisphere of aesthetic impulses, I design a resurrection of nostalgia within delightfully garish inflections of pastiche.
