BLiPSWiTCH presents
An Orchestra of Supergiants
September 16-19 + 23-26
8:00PM (doors/BAR 7:30PM)
1106 Clayton Lane. Austin, TX

The latest site-specific dance production from BLiPSWiTCH places the audience and its ten performers on the third floor of an office building, countless rectangles framing and defining the space. An Orchestra of Supergiants is a live archive of déjà vu: accumulated movement, sound and gesture that shape our personhood and reveal how little of human existence we are able to hold and perceive. It’s not about clocking in at the office, but it is about how even our own memories are an echoing variation on sameness, eroding and distorting with each return until we are no longer able to feel their totality. 

“We observe a fraction of the process, like hearing the vibration of a single string in an orchestra of supergiants.” - Stanisław Lem

This performance considers the built-in blind spots of its location… not only integral to each audience member’s unique experience but reflective of the show’s thesis. We hope you will join us in embracing these fleeting, hidden moments; that your curiosity brings you back in search of missing pieces, finding them revealed from a different angle while others fall away to memory.
