This is a 1-hour durational performance in which six dancers wearing headphones create a colorful disruption to satirize the vision of a ‘culture war.’ These dancers comprise a flaccid would-be paramilitary that wiggles and glitters, laughing at polemics. This dance party comes one year after the Washington Post published leaked text messages invoking a ‘battle royale for the soul of UVA and a microcosm of what must happen across America to save the soul of our country.’ It aims to disrupt the day-to-day campus bustle with unexpected invitations for audience members to take themselves less seriously.
