A dynamite program of performative cinema. Multimedia artists Morrison Gong and J. (Jialing) Shih team up for The Phoenix Lament, exploring personal emancipation from such social constructs as family shame, as well the trope of female madness in Eastern and Western literature. Countertenor/performance artist/metalhead/force of nature M. Lamar premieres a new sound and video opera, The Lynching Suite, whose subject you can guess.
