GHOSTS || Snake Talk

With the support of the Multnomah County Cultural Coaltion, PWNW presents a program of dance curated by  Allie Hankins: GHOSTS by Asaf Aharonson & Ruairí Donovan (Berlin) and SNAKE TALK by Abby Crain, Maryanna Lachman and Mara Poliak (Oakland).

GHOSTS
a duet by Asaf Aharonson & Ruairí Donovan

"Mmm, ok?" "So?" "It's about the bear." "Which bear? The big bear? The star constellation? The homosexual archetype?" "No the bear that is waiting."
From the confidential to the indecent, traveling from the erotic to the pornographic and back again to friendship. Veiling and unveiling the potential of a complex intimacy between two lovers. Drawing on the work of theorist Michael Hardt, GHOSTS tries to understand "how love can be the central, constitutive mode and motor of politics."

ASAF AHARANSON was born outside Jerusalem. A recent graduate of the BA Dance & Choreography programme of the H.Z.T., Berlin. Aharonson has collaborated and performed with Peter Plyer, Mia Habib, Hana Erdman, Iris Erez, Tami Lebovits and Arkadie Zidas among others.Through his art practice he aims to prioritise the spending of time with others as the primary site for the generation of material for live performance.
Asaf's mom, Bosmat, is a gardener. She was born in the south and still often thinks about the desert.

RUARí DONOVAN is a performance maker working between choreography, live art and theater. His work aims to offer dramaturgies of participation while queering expectations of the performing body as well as the live theatrical event. He splits his time between Cork, Ireland and Berlin, Germany. His award winning work has been widely presented across Europe and Northern America at Cork Midsummer Festival, Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival, Project Arts Centre (IRL), Chapter Arts Centre, Buzzcutt (UK), CounterPulse, Abrons (USA), and Tanztage, Uferstudios & Dock 11 (DE). He is a core member of Keith Hennessy's Turbulence, which has been presented at NYLA, YBCA, PICA TBA, Kampnagel, HAU and Theatre der Welt .
Ruairí's mother; Mary, lives in Ireland where she is a devoted Grandmother, occasional wheelchair user and believer in the guardianship of Angels.

Snake Talk
Created and performed by Abby Crain, Maryanna Lachman and Mara Poliak

We ooze, leak, wander, scavenge, engulf.
We have forgotten the difference between kissing and eating.
