CHIMAERA is the debut eponymous choreography by Oscar Suh-Rodriguez and Eilish Henderson’s collaborative duo.

The title is representative of a third corporeal spirit that is conjured when we meet in dance–part phantom, part demon, ashen, soot-footed and honey-skinned. The work began as an improvised dance on a sunny hill, then emerged once more on a midnight beneath a strawberry moon–feet on sand, fingers running through fossils, eyes hidden.

The final work is as much transcription as it is composition, evoking images and movements discovered through our improvisations. We assembled the choreography from memories of dances, our mutual love of Butoh, and more. We then set out to craft the soundscape together, molding and refining as we climbed deeper into the dance. As we share many interests and appreciate similar aesthetics, it was easy to find a unifying palette without discussion.

We stand upon the same black moon. We both understand the setting. We are both together receiving this landscape. We hope you’ll join us on April 2 or 3, 2026 at Greenlung Studios (Red Hook) to experience this work in full-form.
