In this semi-autobiographical solo, McGonigle amalgamates herself into a version of her once seminarian father. Doing so, she fuses fragments of alternate histories that interrogate the notion of family. Recalling what existed, and grieving what almost was, BLAZE investigates the carnage of growing up, and sifts through what remains.
The Body Politic explores how individuals develop bodily techniques to negotiate with rigid regulations in totalitarian social environments. We question how highly concentrated power trickles down to private life and how tactics such as coercion, isolation, and fear-mongering affect the ways the physical bodies occupy time and space.
What's the best way to learn about sexual dimorphism and evolutionary biology? With a drag show, of course! Meet the Bower Bird: nature's fine, feathered, landscape architect. He has a collection of sexy bottle caps that he hopes you'll like very much.
