april 23, 2026 - “après l’après-midi d’un faune”
durational site-specific installation.
an exploration of set-making, functional space-making, and narrative, the installation staged a scene “of something having just happened”; the performers have disappeared, but the props and set pieces remain. the installation functions as an interpolation of the ballet “l’après-midi d’un faune” by vaslav nijinsky to present natural and mock elements mimicking each other in order to provoke an examination of ways in which sets, theater, media blur the line between real, imagined, and constructed, as well as the ways in which suspensions of disbelief can help us to re-imagine they way we think about spaces.
