SINK by Keith Hennessy / Circo Zero
Premiered December 2017, remounted May 2018 & November 2019
At the Joe Goode Annex, SF, CA
Sink’s approach to current politics waivers between punk and contemplative, transformative and fucked. Loneliness, a lifejacket, a white man, a shadow dance, a sad angry song, and love, suspended.
The performance is an embodied response to the current political, economic, and social shifts that have produced not only Trump and Brexit, Erdogan and Duterte, but also the massive refugee crises all over the world, the mass shootings in Christchurch, Charleston, and Gilroy, and normalization of precarity in all sectors (financial instability, impossible debt, depression, anxiety, poverty, incarceration, species extinction, climate chaos and existential fears…).
