HIT OUT by PARINI SECONDO (Italy), a choreographic and musical composition built around the jump rope repurposed as a rhythmic and choreographic percussive instrument. In the dual athletic and rhythmic nature of the jump rope, with HIT OUT Parini Secondo elevates the intimate practice of training into a performative action: the hammering succession of rope strokes morphs into the drumbeat of rebellion against those forces that would have us lie motionless on the ground with our eyes closed.
Directed and Performed by Daniel Irizarry. Written by Robert Lyons. Soho Think Tank & One-Eighth Theater. Your favorite college professor catalogs the un-written work of the notorious "Esteemed Author." One part lecture / two parts fever dream, Dr. Watson takes us on a roller-coaster of increasingly wild tangents into his surreal obsession with the nature of knowledge, fanaticism, and human connection. This is dark buffoonery that redefines the absurd for the contemporary moment.
"Get-low, gliding, bone-breaking, connecting, pauzin, waving: Even the language of flexing, a street-dance style born in Jamaica and raised in the Brooklyn neighborhood of East New York, pops with energy." Quamaine Daniels and Reggie Gray's iconic FLEXX dancing collective meshes movement, music, and words while painting a canvas using dance shoes as urban street brushes. Followed by a battle and music by FLEXN DJ.
