Sublimation

Created and Performed by Jacqueline Scaletta

directed by Coral Cohen

A collage of narrative, poetry, music, and light exploring the desire to disappear into something larger than you. It interweaves a story of a friendship between two trans people with a haunting by a Lovecraftian angel, using spoken text, movement, rapid beats, and wearable lighting devices to vacillate between sensory overwhelm and ambient tranquility. Featuring original music by Jacqueline Scaletta.

THIS IS AN ONGOING PROJECT
