Robert Moses' KIN returns to live indoor performance with its San Francisco season, featuring "The Soft Solace of a Slightly Descended Lost Life (Suck It)," an immersive performance focused on the fractured heritage, risk, and theft of solace and safety from everyday life, April 1, 2 and 3 at the recently renovated and beautifully reopened Presidio Theatre Performing Arts Center in San Francisco. These performances celebrate Robert Moses' KIN's 27th season and mark the first live performance of "Soft Solace," which premiered as a film in June 2021.
Multidisciplinary and poetically transcribed through dance, spoken word, suspended sculptural installation, and projection design, "Soft Solace" features the diverse dancers of Robert Moses' KIN, choreography, storytelling and sound design by Moses, with collaborators Eugene Korsunskiy (sculpture), Ian Winters (projections), PC Munoz (voice), G. Chris Griffin (lighting), and Jamielyn Duggan (costumes).
"...Rule number two is, be an example, not the next martyr.... I got tired, lost track of myself....I have not disowned my anger; I understand it and it is attractive and it has matured. It holds more authority because of its age, but rage does not age well...."
-- excerpt from "The Soft Solace of a Slightly Descended Lost Life (Suck It)"
