one year of performances inspired by exhibitions at NEXUS with new
works by dancers Jil Stifel, Paul Struck, and Zornitsa Stoyanova, as
well as the world premiere of Daemon En Gauze, a string trio by
composer Mike "Mikronesia" McDermott performed by violinist Carlos
Santiago from Normal Love, violist Martha Savery from Gemini Wolf, and
cellist Eve Miller from acclaimed post-rock band The Rachel's. All the
performances are inspired by the photography of NEXUS members Susan
Abrams and Tasha Doremus. There will be a reception following the
performance.

Join Perpetual Movement and Sound for the fifth installment of The
Rashomon Effect, an ongoing performance series featuring an improvised
score based on the storytelling method employed in Akira Kurosawa's
1950 film Rashomôn. The term "Rashomon effect" refers to the effect of
subjectivity on recollection, by which observers of an event are able
to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of
it.
