SHE SPRANG OUT RED explores the journey towards substantial transformation through the embodiment of monstrous feminine narratives in Caribbean cross-cultural imaginations. Body curtains, conjoined attires, shifting braided manes, and choreographic compositions disassemble and reassemble, disassemble and reassemble, disassemble and reassemble these chimeric cyborgs as they navigate different scales of paradoxical transformation. These blasphemous sacred beings become an intimate frame of contradictions and affinities—from fear, terror, and uncertainty, to power, beauty, and vulnerability—and back.

This live performance builds on the imaginative world from the film, adding a layer of live feedback projections which distort performers’ bodies in real time.

Performed live at Highways Performance Space, Santa Monica, California, 2024, part of their A/O/X series.
