Catherine Cabeen/Hyphen presents the world premiere of Give Me More, a three-part work exploring the relationship between conditioning, consumption, and self-worth
Give Me More unfolds in three chapters, each with a distinct lens on how our desires shape our identity and worldview, which in turn reshape our desires. The work begins with Glitter in the Gutter, a comedic duet created and performed by Cabeen and Kristina Berger that embodies the glamour and grit that weave together the lives of two aging performers.
The second part, This American Koan, is a work for seven dancers that highlights the intersecting of gender roles, overconsumption, and environmental destruction. Incorporating an original score by Mark Katsaounis, text, drag performance, highly kinetic and sensuous movement, and an interactive set made of 200 pounds of recycled clothing,
Completing the program is …yet again, a solo performed by Cabeen to the music of composer/multi-instrumentalist Westin Portillo.
