The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA) will showcase the world premiere of Wired on May 5-8.
Internationally recognized disability arts ensemble Kinetic Light will return to the stage to premiere its latest work. The work is part of the MCA's Entanglements performance series developed by MCA's curator of performance and public practice, Tara Aisha Willis.
The presentation includes four accessible in-person performances and a virtual livestream.
Wired is a contemporary aerial dance performance that explores race, gender and disability stories of barbed wire in the United States, tracing the fine line between "us" and "them" and exploring the contradictions, dangers and beauty of barbed wire. Immense and intimate, Wired meditates in sound, light and movement as the work questions and ruminates on power, belonging, abolition and deinstitutionalization, sexuality, art, community and connectionall through the lens of disability as creative and cultural force.
