Composer William Basinski and musician Anohni recall its febrile birth in N...

"We came from a community that was viscerally and intimately experienced in the feeling of annihilation. So when we watched 9/11 I remember being scared, but also feeling that this kind of trauma was familiar to me. The idea that 2,000 people could suddenly evacuate the planet? That’s called AIDS."

Interview with Diego Fernando Montoya
Interview with Diego Fernando Montoya YouTube video by Cara Mía Theatre

Caught the closing performance of Cara Mía’s Medea/Liturgia by Diego Fernando Montoya, and ohmygod what an outstanding thing of wonder, with strong echoes of Isabella’s reactivation & critique of myth (from Fabulæ).

It’s important that people:

1. Don’t let them bury their lies about Renee. Make them own that forever.

2. Focus on the administration’s lies about Alex, even if they aren’t being said by Vance and Trump.

All is bartered, betrayed and bereaved / The black wing of death quivered near / All is torn by a terrible grieving / So how can this radiance appear?
