Makisig Akin + Anya Cloud/The Love Makers Company - We Are (nothing) Everything

What can we do together that we can't do alone? This dance duet is a queer reinterpretation of the creation story. With patience, tenderness and prayer, we symbolize the many ways in which love can manifest itself. Intimacy makes it possible to break through and change ideas of violence, care, pleasure, play and gender. Through performance, we make impossible conditions fertile as an invitation into ephemeral spaces where desire, guilt, grief and love intersect. We carry the complexity and paradox of being socialized female bodies that are queered and racialized. Sometimes we share a body and sometimes we splinter in the ether - we uplift each other and bring each other back down to earth in equal measure. What becomes possible when love is stronger than fear? We embody the wildest dreams of our queer ancestors.
