Program B | 1:30pm: Hadi Moussally | Joy Norton | Julie Mayo | Justin Cabrillos

Ciné-Corps film: Hadi Moussally, Bellydance Vogue, 2020

Hadi Moussally’s birthday landed on the 3rd of April 2020, during lockdown, and for the first time he celebrated it all by himself—and as if it was his last. The film was made during quarantine.

Joy Norton / Reveries of Metanoia: Who All Gon’ Be There

Reveries of Metanoia: Who All Gon’ Be There unfolds as a heartfelt ode to Black sensuality and the radiant tapestries of love, weaving a vision of Black Queer futures and technology blooming in the boundless expanse of space. The audience will enter the realm where community nurtures liberation, and the subtle whispers of privilege challenge us to awaken to the unseen dimensions of spatial awareness.

Julie Mayo / Fête 

In Fête, the live companion piece to Julie Mayo's video work what will i be wearing? she suits up and tackles the question from a different angle.

Justin Cabrillos / Unnamed

Unnamed is a piece built out of pendulating emotional states, faces, and Nicholas Cage’s unhinged film moments.
