LAVA presents A Goddessey Santa Fe

LAVA presents A Goddessey, our feminist survival story that journeys through landscapes emotional and geologic carrying a transmuting traveler from a bleak and blurry patriarchal present into a rainbow colored feminist future with the help of ancestors geologic and otherwise. A Goddessey is the synthesis, culmination, and explosion of 15 years of earth-moving performance by LAVA.

LAVAs unique movement language integrates handstands, human pyramids, hoop-diving, aerials, wrestling, and post-modern dance in the re-telling of the traditional heros journey subverting the lone heros quest of fights, feats, and loss and instead offering the tale of a string of connected women seeking pre-patriarchal knowledge, unearthing a shared legacy of lost lessons, and enjoying a return home to a vision of future feminist balance and equality.

The acrobats of LAVA emulate strong and courageous Amazons in an enchanted forest, mysterious and sensual mystics in an underground cave, pioneering visionaries soaring in outer space, and queens of the rainbow celebrating individual uniqueness and group connection. With ropes, trapezes, nets, hoops, and mats, A Goddessey guides audiences into the embodiment of feminist empowerment and social harmony that will offer much-needed healing and inspiration.
