Antonym: the opposite of nostalgia

So thrilled to work with composer/choreographer Sugar Vendil and her company in performing an excerpt from her work Antonym: the opposite of nostalgia, a memoir of a Filipinx American childhood that interweaves music and movement, taking an imaginative approach to interdisciplinary performance and music composition. Excavating insignificant yet indelible experiences, Antonym envisions the future as an escape from pain and ponders how we can possess painful memories without being beholden to them. Using field recordings of New York City throughout the year, the four seasons serve as a cyclical frame and context for memory.
