You Are Happy At The Port Fringe


You Are Happy is a sensual, surreal, and sensorial solo performance.  Rooted in the physical with an imaginative eye towards the mythical, dancer Eliza Larson draws the world of Homer’s Sirens anew in this interdisciplinary solo.  Imbued with memories, physical residue, and the essence of emotion, the performance moves between dance and performance art, abstract and literal film imagery, and includes movement, image, text, sound, and costume.  Featuring an original sound score by Benjamin Chakoian Jones and Stephen Turney.
