Through intimate videos and live performances, explore impermanence, ancestry, artist identity, and the human effort to fit the pieces together.
Assemblage is a multidisciplinary dance and music performance that explores impermanence, ancestry, and artist identity, and the human effort to fit the pieces together.
Assemblage is a multidisciplinary, multimedia work featuring chamber and electronic music by Houston composer Chris Becker, choreographed and improvised movement by New York-based director Rachel Cohen, and real-time collage-making using zip-loc bags of curated materials left behind by Cohen’s mother, a quiet artist who passed away in February 2020. Through intimate videos and live performances, including music for vibraphone, harp, viola, and cello, Assemblage explores impermanence, ancestry, and artist identity, and the human effort to fit the pieces together.
