About The Ume Group’s PASSING
In the surrealist, avante-Garde spirit of Japanese Butoh Dance, two consummate physical theatre artists, Jordan Rosin (USA) and Yokko (USA/Japan) present a moving collage of ritual movement, monologue, clowning, and found object puppetry exploring time, generation, gender, mortality, and parenthood, all set to a soundtrack of experimental music and community interviews mixed through machine learning body interfaces by performance artist and composer Kite (Oglála Lakȟóta).
PASSING is a community-driven project created with and for parents, queer folx, people who have lost family and/or who are confronting the passage of time. The project is a winner of the New England Foundation for the Arts National Theatre Project Artist Development Award and a
finalist for their National Theatre Project Creation & Touring Grant. For ways to get involved in this project, click here: https://bit.ly/UmePassingInterest
