mojada, a performance by Kiyo Gutiérrez
Wednesday, July 1, 7–9:30PM
FCCW: 3053 Rosslyn St. LA, CA 90065
Free
In mojada, Spanish for “wet,”Kiyo Gutiérrez stages the body as both archive and infrastructure, bearing the sedimented histories of migration, labor, and racialized language. Drawing from Mesoamerican cosmovision, in which humans are made of maize, the work situates the body within a cosmology of land-based kinship rather than nationalist borders. Referencing the slur “wetback” and its violent immigration history, the performance transforms water from a mark of criminalization into a force of memory, endurance, and regeneration.

lean, a performance by Sharon Chohi Kim
Thursday, June 11, 6:30–9PM
FCCW: 3053 Rosslyn St. LA, CA 90065
Info on our space here
Free
lean is a performance work of voice and body. Through acts of leaning, carrying, resisting and releasing, six performers form adaptive structures of support that echo the dynamics of family systems. Weight redistribution becomes a language passed between bodies tracing how grief, joy, care, anger and addiction move through kinship networks. Resonating through matrilineal gestures and Korean bathhouse practices, the work unfolds through interwoven vocal and movement canons, like echoes across generations. It invites an embodied experience of interdependence where support is constantly negotiated and in flux.
