Super Nothing is a new quartet for performers from New York (Justin Faircloth, Wendell Gray II) and Los Angeles (Jay Carlon, Evelyn Sanchez Narvaez).
What can a dance do to confront the constant grief that we experience in our lives? Super Nothing presents four dancers whose actions and choreographic relationships are analogues for how people support each other to survive. Interdependence takes multiple forms, as the performers move through representations of the past to create a blueprint for a new future. This piece extends Gutierrez’s interest over the past few years in creating “choreography for the end of the world.”
Super Nothing premieres at New York Live Arts Live Artery Festival January 12-18, 2025 as the culmination of the 2023-24 Randjelović/Stryker Resident Commissioned Artist program. Return to Home Page for upcoming tour dates.
