Art. Dance. LEMUR speaks of the grotesque and mutable grace of the body. LEMUR scalds the page and, in so doing, proposes a bold choreography—one of dis-membering and re-membering the human into a new species. In this space, and on this stage, charges of abundance, overflow and fear electrify a milky symbology. The humor of LEMUR is one of sinister relationality, sheer proximity, mutability—a dwelling-in-waste. This dwelling reminds us that our bodies already relate to one another in waste, and that what we long for—to be discarnate—is futile.
