Zero Station works out shame, citing a felt understanding as part of the experience of abjection. Confronting hypersexualization as the limp white feminine byproduct of capitalism, we present movements derived from pregnancy, lactation, mental illness, physical illness, surgery, and aging, and then segment, otherize, and disappear these forms in trash. Through trauma we are greatly affected, and our capacity to be affected, to understand how we may affect one another, is heightened. Within this gained fluidity is potential to think beyond ourselves.

Choreography and Performance by Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith.

Presented in partnership with The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center 

Supported by Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels
