CITADEL LIVE PRESENTS

SISTER NIGHTLIGHT (reductions and leanings)

Choreographed and Performed by George Stamos

Edging toward luminosity from a place of starkness, SISTER NIGHTLIGHT (reductions and leanings) is a conversation between minimalism and magic, a soliloquy balancing at the tip of a crack, peering into illumination. From a distinctly Queer perspective, Stamos entwines bedtime storytelling, body states of cruising, task-based action, and somatic dance with the supernatural, humour and vulnerability in this new solo. Leaning into a space between memory, feral imagination, and actuality, Stamos distils this solo to the bare bones of its measures and reflects on the following questions: How can a performance lie at the intersection of daily life, magic and performative presentation? How can a show invite viewers into imaginative portals of delight and intimacy? What’s most important as we gather to share a dance and a story?
