Stone l is the first installment of a new interdisciplinary collaboration between internationally acclaimed performers, Eiko Otake and Margaret Leng Tan. 

In June 2023, Eiko visited the Gylsboda Quarry while in residency in Sweden. During her time there she felt the quarry to be a violent place, stating “deep deep below I saw the machine-scarred surfaces of stones that I was not supposed to be seeing.”

Price: $30, and $25 for members.

The resulting video, projected onto the stone walls of the Historic Chapel, provides the setting for a performance and contemplation on the immensity of time, tension, and density that stone holds. Eiko invited Margaret to reflect with her on humans’ incessant need for material resources, a need invariably destructive to the environment. Departing from their traditional roles as dancer and pianist, the collaborators sustain each other through sound and movement.

There will be five performances of Stone I, occurring from 8:30-9:30pm on June 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th.
