Choreographer Antonio Ramos fabricates a gloriously chaotic performance from shiny lies, physical hyperbole and naked flesh in an attempt to find the glitter trail to truth. With an eye towards exposing the invisible marketplace – where transactions are made in bodies and paid for in program notes – Ramos and his six Gang Bangers present exaggerated and abstracted characters created from personal neuroses dredged up through the labor of “making things.” Peter Richard’s video installation frames the live event with evidence of drug-induced source material, surveillance of the performers’ transformations and debris from all tomorrow’s parties, putting into question what truths are currently valued in the making and performing of live dance.
