Fever Dreams
Fever Dreams is a dizzying dance spectacle based on Mexican folk Artist Pedro Linares’ Cartoneria known as Alebrije. Ornate and vibrantly colored costumes decorate dancers as they transform into Linares’ mythical creatures who are as loud and unapologetic as the heat hallucinations that sired them. Wild imagery and sensuous yet eerie movements are the backbone of these birds of paradise, and they haunt the space with stories of longing, lust, and looming fears. Built from the restlessness of loneliness, the fervent need for touch, the itch desperate to be scratched and the hot crazy that the Covid Pandemic isolation has created…Fever Dreams is the fantastical delirium we are drunk with.
