Event Details
A dance about dances about love.
Interested in the human impulse for connection, BABYBABYBABY taps into feelings of budding romance, when falling in love is silly and fast and sexy and devastating, and you are brilliant and stupid and spellbound.
With reference points ranging from early aughts romantic comedies and So You Think You Can Dance duets, to archival footage of live performances by Roberta Flack and Nina Simone, to obstacle course TV game shows and clowning, the work stumbles through shades of silliness, irrationality, passion, and grief, calling into question the role of sincerity, earnesty, and truthfulness in performance, and the power of physical states.
BABYBABYBABY seeks to explore how we contend with trust, impulsivity, and continuity via malleable agreements and disagreements, in its physical acts and in its overarching theme.
Saturday, April 11, at 7:00 PM (doors 6:30 PM) & Sunday, April 12, at 3:00 PM (doors 2:30 PM). All are welcome. There will be a rom-com artist reception with libations and platonic speed dating in the library immediately following the performance on April 11.
