Radio III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ is the first collaboration between Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Zoë Poluch et Elisa Harkins. It is an Indigenous futuristic concert, a beautiful and uncomfortable dance performance, and a perverse triangle of shifting power that seeks to be unfaithful to both minimalism and postmodern dance’s claims to so-called “neutrality.”

This choreography in the expanded field haunts the recognizable toolbox of abstraction, form, repetition, and pattern by striving to make visible that which has been kept invisible and illegible in colonial systems of aesthetics.

Within Radio III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ, there are many references to the number 3: there are 3 performers, the piece has 3 sections, and there are 3 duets, one being a triplet. Created and developed on the Muscogee Reservation, in Stockholm, Sweden, and in Montréal, Québec, the piece brings together components and concerns that inform an interdisciplinary and counter-colonial approach to performance.

Talkback with the artists after the September 13th performance — Hosted by Moe Clark.
