Triple Bill: CHIMAERA/Alex Shanahan and Kalena Sills/Painthorse

Join us for an intense bill of Butoh, new work, and noise. CHIMAERA kicks off its ‘26 tour with its eponymous debut work. DC-based movement duo comes to NYC for the first time to premiere their new work “Coniunctio.” NYC-based movement and noise duo showcase a fragment of their upcoming ensemble piece.

Alex/Kalena (DC):

Coniunctio is a work at the edge of emergence.

Fragments of a singular memory remembering itself inside of the softening of thresholds, a piece inhabited by experience as it negotiates form. 

CHIMAERA (NYC):

CHIMAERA is a Butoh, sound, and art collaborative duo Oscar Suh-Rodriguez and Eilish Henderson. Their mutual passion for Butoh, poetry, music, and sound has brought about their collaborative auteur philosophy: music, choreography, costuming–miniature landscapes created jointly. Their eponymous debut collaboration CHIMAERA was created over a nine month period and serves as a culmination of their experiences and discoveries. The work is as much composition as it is transcription, putting on display their corporeal journal during this early period of collaboration.
