GREEN (Trash Fest)

GREEN is a live performance collaboration between YES Theater and the brand new groovy musical group Grass Future Society. Taking the form of a pared down concert of Grass Future Society's upcoming album GREEN, there will be recycled-mask dancers telling the abstracted narrative of the album, which is essentially about being stuck inside and looking out the window to see the world on fire. (Sound familiar!?) The project is grounded in finding the joy and beauty in community, and to represent the possibility of proving the opposite of the narrative of isolation and destruction.

Song Sessions

Song Sessions

The term “song” or “song session” describes the elaborate vocalization structure produced by humpback whales. Song Sessions connects whale and human music. Employing flutes, clarinets, sine-tones, and an LED light installation, four improvisers perform an ever-changing work based on the structure of whale songs. Each performance is unique and distinctive. With flutes played by Isabel Lepanto Gleicher and clarinets played by Eric Umble, the duo improvises as two whales communicating over a vast ocean. The sine-tones, played by Barry Sharp, provide an evolving ambiance that comprises frequencies of oceanic noise pollution. Lastly, Paige Seber utilizes an adaptable light installation manipulated to mimic the ocean in flux and respond in real-time to the performance's dramatic arc.

Two Roads

TICKETS
$20

We are who we are, and we are where we are because of the infinite decisions we have made in our past. With this premise, Two Roads scrutinizes the genesis of these choices, exploring the root of our consciences tied to our family, and the conscious and unconscious decisions that we make constantly, including addiction and routines, balance, guilt, and love.

Two Roads is a chamber opera for mezzo-soprano, physical actor, choir & dance ensemble, electronics, piano, percussion, and movable set. Though framed as an opera, the work wholeheartedly embraces its interdisciplinary nature, following a parallel creative process that showcases the set, choreography, and light and sound design in earnest, displaying CreArtBox at its best.

CreArtBox once again presents the chamber opera Two Roads, composed by Guillermo Laporta. This piece was awarded a residency the Avaloch Farm Music Institute where part of the music was written.

Princess: Out There

TICKETS
$15

Out There is a concept video album and live performance piece by Princess. It explores toxic masculinity and the role men ought to be playing during the current cultural reckoning of misogyny.

The video’s science fiction narrative explores the power of the Divine Feminine through collaborations with JD Samson, visual artist Jennifer Myers, and the band TEEN.

Princess (Alexis Gideon and Michael O’Neill) is a performance art duo that explores queerness and the concept of masculinity. Simultaneously gay, straight, queer, masculine and feminine, Princess embodies the fluidity and coherence between the seemingly contradictory.

Alexis and Michael are platonic soul mates, unified in their bond of not quite fitting in, who have been creating conceptual performances since 1999.

Princess has performed at the Andy Warhol Museum, The Bass, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, MCA San Diego, MIT List Visual Arts Center, MOCA Cleveland, New Museum, Wexner Center for the Arts and many other institutions.
