Egg Album Cover

egg is a theatrical staging of César's album alongside live ceramics by Emily Orling. This performative salad of sound, poetics, anecdotes, and real-time collaboration calls up unthinkable thoughts about creative kinship, small-town futurism, trans-middle age, mediocre parenting, and the ancient unreliable religion of art-making.

Saturday, November 9, at 7 p.m.

and

Sunday, November 10, at 1 p.m.

DEV Studio (North Fairbanks 002)

Registration required: RSVP here
