(Old Man / Sick Man / Shout)
Collaboration with Ananias P. Soria
Commissioned by Visual AIDS for World AIDS Day / Day With(out) Art 2023
Premiere: Nov. 30, Whitney Museum of American Art, NY
Ananias, a San Francisco Bay Area artist and immigrant, performs the folkloric Danza de los Viejitos (the Dance of the Old Men). Originally from Michoacán, Mexico, where the dance originates, Ananias interprets its movements through the lens of his spirituality, his long-term HIV-related disabilities, and his search for a place in the world.
