Open Lab: Sugar Vendil: Antonym: the opposite of nostalgia
@ High Concept Labs
2233 S. Throop St, Suite #401, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, August 25th, from 7PM - 8PM
Antonym: the opposite of nostalgia is a memoir of a Filipinx American childhood that interweaves music and movement, taking an imaginative approach to interdisciplinary performance and music composition. Excavating insignificant yet indelible experiences, Antonym envisions the future as an escape from pain and ponders how we can possess painful memories without being beholden to them. Using field recordings of New York City throughout the year, the four seasons serve as a cyclical frame and context for memory.
Vendil will perform the work with her collaborators: flutist Laura Cocks, violinist Cindy Lan, and dancer Annie Wang, and 2022/2023 HCL Fellow Artist in Residence Irene Hsiao.
