New Buds: MK Tuomanen and Harmon dot aut
An evening of new works-in-process
Explore the intersection between performance and visual art with an evening of new works-in-process by Philly and Minneapolis-based trans theater artists.
GravyLand
In this nascent communal performance and transmedia piece, non-binary and autistic playwright, musician, and visual artist Harmon dot aut (they/she) traces the shared connections among neuro- and gender diverse experiences. For Harmon, who describes their self as AutiGender, the very act of speaking requires constant, focused labor—they form words and sentences by translating their innate synesthetic language of shapes, colors, frequencies, and fractals. In “GravyLand,” Harmon reaches out after a decade of being housebound, inviting us to connect across this communication divide.
Consider the Cow
In this work-in-progress, playwright and performance artist MK Tuomanen navigates the maze of parenthood through a trans lens. From top surgery to intersex bulls to minotaurs to Doja Cat to the inherent grief of loving a child, Tuomanen drags you to the center of the labyrinth and back again.
Content Transparency: GravyLand contains descriptions of psychiatric hospitalization, as well as mentions of rape, abuse, and violence. Consider the Cow contains descriptions of surgery and the kidnapping of a child.
Co-presented with The Bearded Ladies Cabaret in conjunction with John Jarboe: The Rose Garden.
