A SURREALIST FLORAL ART SHOWCASE AND PLAY
July 26, 2024 / 8:00pm-10:00pm / Secret location in the (east) Bay Area
A viscerally intimate and transformative evening of theatrical storytelling, liberation, and empowerment, centering an ethereally surrealist array of literal and metaphorical flowers, alongside queer, BIPOC, and AAPI dance rituals, experimental soundscapes, and earthenware art.
Through lenses of myth and metaphor, and boldly embodied pleasure driven alchemy, multi-media floral art seductively unearths and dances with quietly driving underpinnings of a feminine, queer, and black experience. To melodies of intuitive and ancestral movement and psychic luxuriating on mental beds of artful floral arrangements, The Secret Life of Flowers spins healing narrative strings of diverse marginalized voices into deeper environmental power, pleasure, and positive change.
