Merging cinematic vistas with intricate shadow play, multimedia performance artist Miwa Matreyek creates magical, surreal, visually rich fusions of intricate animation and live movement that leave audiences spellbound. Over two separate performances, audiences can experience up to three of Matreyek’s singular pieces: her latest work, “Infinitely Yours,” explores the undeniable web of connections between humans and climate change; “This World Made Itself,” a fantastical kaleidoscopic experience is sophisticated yet full of childlike wonder, leading audiences from earth’s birth to today’s complex, fast-paced world; and in “Myth and Infrastructure”, Matreyek traverses seascapes, cityscapes and domestic spaces to conjure dreamlike scenes with nuanced layers of light and shadow.
