TONIGHT!

FREE ALL NIGHT LONG PREMIERES @highwaysps

Free All Night Long is a satirical and truthful exploration of the every day structures of our American Life and the powers that rule it. Drawing on dance, performance art and deconstructed live soundscapes - all exploredunder the reverence of improvisation and in rebellion of rigidity - we ultimately ask the audience to consider what it means to comply, to persist, and to find catharsis in a system that seeks to strip away humanity while constantly demanding more.

GĒR Collective presents ’Gasket’ their first evening length performance at the historic Highways Performance Space on October 18th and 19th at 8PM.

Tickets available for purchase at the link in our bio!

The experiential, multimedia work considers memory fertilization and its inevitable depletion. Using movement and auditory motifs, the piece taunts sensations of familiarity in a recursive world. This nonlinear performance explores coping with the discomfort of forgetting by examining what is frontal and what is peripheral of memory.

Through the act of traversing adjoining environments, performers and audiences collectively activate breaches of a conceptual “gasket” that seals the past and present and when worn down, may leak or rupture.

Thank you to @stompinggroundla @studioadancela @crawlspace.la for your generous support of this project.
