ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
“I believe that processing grief physically is central to being able to access Queer love and joy. God is Glove takes the form of a public grieving and feeding ritual, where beeswax candle forms, bells, crab shells, water chestnuts, and sculptural Seder table objects are paired with food, mirroring some rituals of the Passover seder. Nourishment by candlelight is foregrounded during the evening as performer and audience take turns feeding themselves and wielding objects in observance of public grief and celebration. I see all of my performances as chances to join through food: Some folks cook the meal, some have the menu, and all of the dishes are shared.”
