Genrefuck.

Two movement-driven solo pieces. Two audacious artists. Buddies offers space for intimate works to converse and collide in a rolling run of double-bills. This is art on the edge of gender and genre. Welcome to Genrefuck.

Each Night of Genrefuck. features two works, one at 7PM, and the second at 9PM. Using the ticket options below, you can purchase a ticket for one or both shows happening on each night.

Reina by Augusto Bitter: Sharing a meal is an intimate and immediate gesture of love. Reina imagines the many lives of the anonymous woman depicted on a bag of Harina P.A.N. corn flour. It invokes and celebrates personal femininity through a collection of memories, stories, recipes, and physical scores in conversation with live music by musician Y Josephine.

Never Walk Alone by Julie Phan: Never Walk Alone is a solo piece combining Julie Phan’s passions for writing and pole dancing. Exploring family dynamics, independence, legacy, isolation, burnout, and economics, the piece follows Honey and her trajectory from formerly-promising-child to bitter disappointment. This is an endurance pole dance piece that explores the relationship between physically holding oneself up on the pole and the necessity of holding truths and lies from our loved ones.
