EXTRA EXTRA 🚨

On Friday, June 5th, Highways Performance Space welcomes MINOTAUR.EXE back for one more night.

What an honor. Highways has truly become a home away from home.

This is the most groundbreaking performance I’ve ever created in my career, and to see this work being recognized and reborn means everything to me. After premiering during MADE IN BRASIL – SOLO WORKS @madeinbrasilsoloworks , MINOTAUR.EXE is now taking flight into another stratosphere.

Industrial myth. Techno ritual. Flesh and machine colliding on stage once again.

One night only. ⚡️photo by @p.kennelly

This Week @highwaysps! OPERA, but cracked open—spilling time loops, crab mythologies, and psychic debris all over the stage. 🦀⏳🌀

Original Vision V: Menagerie arrives as part of Opera Fest LA—an incubator where emerging composers go big, strange, and unapologetically alive. Featuring new works + a special appearance by O-Lan Jones—a true wildcard force threading it all together.

Three operas-in-progress:
→ a downed pilot merging with a crab hivemind
→ a time machine built to end time itself
→ a life refracted through memory, lovers, and chorus

It’s opera-theater as experiment, collision, and fevered invention.

🚨 BOTH NIGHTS SOLD OUT 🚨
But—there will be a walk-up list each night. No guarantees, but if you’re feeling lucky…

📅 Fri + Sat, APRIL 24 + 25 at 8PM
Come hover at the edge of something not fully formed yet—where the risk is the point.

This Past Weekend @highwaysps!INNERSTICE - dancers in video: @ellery.dancer / @miasnape_ / @jalenscriven / @kyson.kai

COMING SOON @highwaysps ✨
SAT, JUNE 6 — 8PM

👽💀⛪️
LEO GARCIA IS DEAD / THE CANONIZATION OF ST. LEO
The past meets the present. Through alien abduction, bodily collapse, and ritual transformation, Leo moves toward public canonization—culminating in sainthood by the L.A. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Autobiography, myth, and queer spiritual satire converge to construct a legacy in real time.
