36 Questions/Cookie Cutter/Beckon
Katerina Wong's 36 Questions asks its audience on a journey of self-reflection, examining what it means to find intimacy with another human. By answering psychologist Arthur Aron's 36 questions, which he theorized makes any two strangers closer, this work brings a critical eye towards how we form judgments and relationships in the present-time and explores the power of vulnerability. / ka.nei.see collective presents a collection of short world-premiere dances as well as excerpts from its recent sold-out production Cookie Cutter. These vignettes coalesce dichotomies in space, manufactured moments, childhood laughs, rawness, and freedom within boundaries to express familial love, recycled ideas, and unapologetic beauty. / Beckon unravels the complex territory between our bodies, our voices and our desires, portraying the divergent experiences of catcalling and cruising. Through a series of vignettes,Beckon portrays the dehumanized, colonized effect of catcalling, and experience where silence and grateful acceptance of a compliment is the expected reaction.Beckon also brings to light the subversive cruising culture that, for gay men, is a necessary means to communicate in an oppressive society.Beckon presents the very different ways in which women and gay men have developed behaviors in response to the dominant heterosexual male voice.
