Museion
Moriah Evans. Out of and Into: PLOT
In cooperation with Bolzano Danza, the choreographer Moriah Evans stages her first ever Italian presentation as the third chapter in Asad Raza’s exhibition Plot at Museion.
The hybrid landscape of Raza’s “Neosoil” and a resulting architectural installation by architects BB (Fabrizio Ballabio, Alessandro Bava) and artist Lydia Ourahmane form the setting for Evans’ new piece Out of and Into: PLOT.
Together with dancers Sarah Beth Percival, Kris Lee and Mara Oscar Cassiani, choreographer Moriah Evans develops a new composition from two of her existing works in rehearsals that are open to the public. These are her most recent piece Remains Persist (2022), which focuses on various types of information that continue to live in our bodies, and her early work Out of and Into (8/8): STUFF (2012), which explores tropes of the “hysterical” body through expressive play. By focusing on the processes of decay and resurgence, her piece reabsorbs the detritus and fertile remnants of her art into a new site-specific iteration.

Moriah Evans:
Moriah Evans positions choreography as a speculative and social process. Developing movement from the unseen, yet felt, worlds of a body’s material and affective interior, Evans’ projects question the hierarchies between flesh, body, self, and subject. Evans maintains a multi-pronged approach to her art, creating site-specific performances, theater-based productions, museum-based installations, symposia, texts, and curatorial projects. Her recent works include: Remains Persist at Performance Space New York (2022); Rehearsals for Rehearsal under the Public Art Fund, New York (2022); RESTOS at Espacio Odeon, Bogota, Colombia (2021); REPOSE at Beach Sessions, Νew York (2021); Be my Muse at Pace Live, New York (2021); Configure at The Kitchen, New York (2018) and Figuring at SculptureCenter, New York (2018).
