Courtney Desiree Morris & Dragonfly (aka Robin LaVerne Wilson): Orisha Wedding

Orisha Wedding is a queer re-imagining of the relationship between Shango and Oya, two powerful deities in the Yoruba religion who control the elements of of fire, thunder, lightning, wind, and storms. This performance ritual is an erotically charged exploration of what it means to love the earth and to live with fire in a moment of climate crisis.

Dendarry Bakery: You Will be Played

Dendarry Bakery’s You Will Be Played centers wearable graphic music scores prepared for the audience. The scores, adorning the audience during the performance, explore various uses and politics of play - playing music, child’s play (and the criminalization of play for racialized people), getting “played” by capitalist forces, and play as an important part of queer discovery.
