OCT 7 at Arts on Site (NYC)
Join us for an intense bill of Butoh, new work, and noise. CHIMAERA kicks off its ‘26 tour with its eponymous debut work. DC-based movement duo comes to NYC for the first time to premiere their new work “Coniunctio.” NYC-based movement and noise duo showcase a fragment of their upcoming ensemble piece.
CHIMAERA is a Butoh, sound, and art collaborative duo Oscar Suh-Rodriguez and Eilish Henderson. Their mutual passion for Butoh, poetry, music, and sound has brought about their collaborative auteur philosophy: music, choreography, costuming–miniature landscapes created jointly. Their eponymous debut collaboration “CHIMAERA” was created over a nine month period and serves as a culmination of their experiences and discoveries. The work is as much composition as it is transcription, putting on display their corporeal journal during this early period of collaboration. (photo by)
“Coniunctio” is a work at the edge of emergence. Fragments of a singular memory remembering itself inside of the softening of thresholds, a piece inhabited by experience as it negotiates form.
