Featured video:
"The slick, stark tableaux of Sidra Bell's POOL and its surrealist nightscape conjures up dystopia, grotesquerie, anime, and decadence. Bell's distinctive and hyperkinetic movement vocabulary creates and deconstructs an imagined Eden and examines the suspension between Heaven and Hell. Lighting designer Vincent Vigilante creates the palette for this illusory and phantasmic world, carving out sharply-delineated zones and ovular pockets of space, evocative of mirrors or exits. Each moment develops with radically different temperatures and through the principal male couple we observe breathing, sinking, floating and ultimately surrendering."
