TRAJAL HARRELL

Outline

Full title: TWENTY LOOKS OR PARIS IS BURNING AT THE JUDSON CHURCH (L)

Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church comes in fives sizes- Extra Small (XS), Small (S), Medium (M), Large (L), and Extra Large (XL). Each size is a different work of different content and form, but share the same proposition: "What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the Voguing ball scene in Harlem had come downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?" Rather than illustrating a historical fiction, these new works transplant this shared proposition into a contemporary context. Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at the Judson Church (L), confronts the postmodern split from modern dance epitomized by Martha Graham's mythological Greek dramas by presenting an all-male contemporary dance version of Sophocles' Antigone.
