SISTER NIGHTLIGHT

George Stamos

SISTER NIGHTLIGHT is an investigation of the unique and contrasting qualities of nocturnal human sensations. From the soothing cocoon of a nightlight to the hypnotic intensity of club dance, this multidisciplinary performance piece featuring drummer Rémy Saminadin and choreographer/dancer George Stamos explores how we all move towards nighttime rituals that make us safe. SISTER NIGHTLIGHT interplays between the ecstatic physicality of party dancing, relaxed body states of private slumber, and agitated states of insomnia. Whether seen through the lens of contemplative solitude or festive nightlife, SISTER NIGHTLIGHT is grounded in dramaturgy locating the work at night. The next iteration of SISTER NIGHTLIGHT will include guest appearances by musician Roger White and dancer Louise Lecavalier when possible.
