Lizzie Borden
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 7:30 PM
Lizzie Borden is an abstract love letter/ghost story dedicated to classical ballet, queer club culture, and final girls from slasher films. A lucid fever dream of overlapping shards of spectres, Lizzie Borden unfolds a quiet, strange world where failings of humankind and sexual tension blur the edges of beauty and decay, exploring how we find solace in places of salt, sand, sea, earth, rust, and rot. Within the work’s edges and apertures, embodied trauma slides between the liminal spaces of joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain. Dancers thrash, wait, watch, sink, seep, simmer, and splay themselves against a shifting soundscape that dares the audience to crawl inside of it and expand one’s attention span to take in movement structures and vocabulary skittering between nihilistic formalism and intimate horror.
