Description

City of Glass

by Julianne Chapple

March 12 | 7 PM Mountain Time

March 13 | 2 PM Mountain Time

This performance will be an online streaming event.

Julianne Chapple draws inspiration from the West Coast ‘wellness’ movement in creation of a new work, City of Glass – a solo exploration of text, movement, sound and objects that investigates the isolation and dissociation of contemporary commodification of the body.

By using the climate-controlled skyscraper (colloquially known as glass coffins) as a symbol of both containment and display, City of Glass traces the connections between the incorruptible bodies of Catholic Saints, to the fitness models trending on social media.

“The value placed on beauty, youth and stasis, collapses time. Person becomes object, becomes image; disintegrating into pixels that maintain their perfect clarity forever.”

– Julianne Chapple
