An interdisciplinary theatrical performance honoring the history of black and indigenous people in New Orleans. Through blood memories of a gurl born in Congo Square, blood pudding explore a landscape of magic made of Ancestral Love. In this world the blues is sacred. Narrators are holy. Indigenous people are honored. The drum shapes reality. Jazz conjures/ritual.
featuring Liz Andrews, Katrina De Wees, Natalie Mejer, Shelah Rhoulhac, & Baset Whitman
Bio: Khi Armand is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist and Two-Spirit medicine person. World citizen and obsessive border crosser, he mixes performance, video, and dead people in his conjurations of bodies ignored and fetishized by dominant narratives. Employing ethnographic necromancy and seedy Craigslist ads to part the veil between the ephemeral-eternal, the individual-communal, and the brown body-justice, Khi holds a BA in Theatre & Ritual Anthropology from Hampshire College and (almost) an MA in Performance Studies from New York University. He has directed for the stage and film in Western Massachusetts, Houston, TX, and Nueva York and has performed solo and collaboratively in almost as many / few locales.
