Devil’s Mirage

The Devil’s Mirage is a whimsical performance of dancers, sculptural installation, and painting, creating illusions in space and form. Painted in cerulean blue, the color meaning “heavenly”, paired with stripes, a symbol for the deviant or evil, the space becomes a devil dressed as an angel of light confusing its viewers as to what is true and what is false. Contour lines painted on the performers, fully three-dimensional objects, and flat paintings confound our understanding of the depth of the space and the nature of the forms themselves. As the dancers move slowly throughout the space, they blur the lines between reality and fantasy, animate and inanimate form. Performers: Iman Clark, Audrey Galat, Kat Johnson, Chloe Napoletano
