About The Event
Join Psychopomp Dance for Volume II of their CHAOS! festival. Experience two weekends of dynamic dance from a host of creators who present eclectic dance creations that utilize unique interactions with everyday objects.
Each evening will including the world premiere of Psychopomp’s newest work, Der Golem. Psychopomp re-invents the mythological and culturally ubiquitous creature of the Golem, bringing together four characters to create a legendary folkloric being to protect them against an existential communal threat.
On Weekend Two witness the culmination of the supercharged Creation Workshop, a piece built exclusively in a week-long creative and chaotic intensive incubator.
Audience members can expect an evening of rumination on the human experience in a way only Psychopomp can supply, via high octane movement, clumps of human hair, copious amounts of duct tape, an ancient sewing machine and much more!
