Adapted from The Disco Project (1995), Greenberg’s recollection of lives lost to AIDS and an acceptance of his own HIV+ status, this updated remix stages elements of its original choreography for the CAS space. The work addresses experiences of liberation, trauma, and survival through a transvisual inquiry into the power of LGBTQIA vocal anthems like RuPaul, Sylvester, and Jimmy Somerville, while witnessing post-modern dance. Described in The New York Times review as “a drama of defiance in the face of adversity,” a combination of movement for five dancers (including Greenberg), projected text, and an assemblage of recorded audio, the work authentically recalls lives affected by AIDS, with diary-like directness. Influenced by his seven years as a member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Greenberg expanded Cunningham’s radical methods that fostered an autonomous relationship between choreography, music, and scenography. Free and open to all.
