$5Desire. Empire. Our daily doings, our passions, and the wars around us are intertwined. Breath, the erotic core, and the global struggle to survive are inextricably linked.
Un/knowing Desire and Empire is as much a presentation of historical fiction that delves into the fantastical as it is an erotic, primal story told through breath, gesture, and movement; elements of character, sentience, and society unveil through the purity and synergy of art itself. By complicating the dualities of traditional/modern, personal/global, erotic/platonic, mundane/magical, Un/knowing Desire and Empire honors Mango Tribe's cultural heritages and multi-layered identities, reflecting a new hybrid aesthetic in an increasingly diverse America.
