Welcome to our 26/27 Season!

Capable within the unknown. That’s such a nice way to say ‘fuck around and find out.’ Which might be a secret theme within this season, certainly for Alex Tatarsky and their deranged storytelling, and Clayton Lee who brings toxic relationships to a new level. Heather Kravas will premiere a new work in the form of a disjointed fairytale about failure. French playwright Mohamed El Khatib quite literally takes this on in surfacing real life stories of sex, desire, and love from people aged 80-100. Kate Wallich and Perfume Genius explore the erotic in their new ode to The Piano Teacher. 

One of our curatorial sensibilities could be called something like, “subverting genre once more with feeling.” David Roussève’s dance-theater self-portrait brings us through his life with honesty. Holland Andrews and yuniya edi kwon’s experimental opera pulls from their spiritual lineages and their real life as partners navigating queer-trans family building. ILVS STRAUSS employs movement, text, sound, and a bright green mask to bring us down an audiophile rabbit hole. 

Northwest New Works festival returns, again pushing us to the edge with curiosity and of-the-moment explorations, and will be curated by Akoiya Harris, Amy O’Neal, and Alyza DelPan-Monley. We are particularly excited to partner with the brilliant team at Base for the beloved 12 Minutes Max showcase, which is such an integral facet of our art community’s ecosystem.
