Inspired by ideas around paganism and ancient ritual, Crimson Sun looks at ways to re-connect with and awaken to our part in nature and the seasons in the context of city living.
Cave Collective's installation of hanging fiber sculptures and handwoven nets evoke fertility, abundance, rites, femininity, masculinity and magic. The installation activates near the Summer Solstice, with a site-specific Butoh performance by Vangeline Theater.
The sculpture will transform continually over the summer, as different sections will be lifted or suspended. The accompanying soundscape will reflect the additive weaving process, with the installation piece culminating in an intensive cluster of color and sound.
On the eve of the Autumn Equinox, Vangeline Theater will perform an improvised dance piece inside the installation, moving the nets and kinetic elements, dismantling the piece, marking its end and the changing seasons. This will happen in concert with a larger Equinox show, with further information to be announced later in the season!
