Jason is a solo performance work that tackles themes of transformation, shame, and embodiment from a transmasculine experience. Using a custom fucked-up men’s suit created by Malcolm Leblanc, a series of objects, and a number of physical tasks, the performer attempts to reach a state of pleasure and freedom.

Celia Green’s practice spans creation, choreography, writing, performance, and care work. They are interested in investigating mundane experiences of the human condition that are messy and challenging, pulling apart these feelings and isolating them through performance. Their focus is on creating work that brings people into a clearly articulated universe, no matter how small or large it may be.
