Wired – a dance-theatre production by Kinetic Light [New York] with music by Ailís Ní Ríain opens at The Shed in New York 25-27 August 2022.
Immense and intimate, Wired meditates in sound, light, and movement as it questions and ruminates on power, belonging, abolition and deinstitutionalization, sexuality, art, community, and connection—all through the powerful lens of disability as creative and cultural force. Wired honors the race, gender, and disability histories of barbed wire in America. At times, the performance includes depictions of violence and disability/race injustice.
Wired is a passionate and potent aerial and contemporary dance experience that tells race, gender, and disability stories of barbed wire in the United States. In this world premiere, the dancers of Kinetic Light partner, spin, and soar as they trace the fine line between “us” and “them” and explore the contradictions, dangers, and beauty of barbed wire.
