Dlectricity, presented by DTE Energy, Detroit’s nighttime festival of art and light, returns this fall to present 35 local, national and international artists whose cutting edge works of art, lighting design, and performance will illuminate the historic architecture of Midtown. MOCAD is pleased to present three free programs in association with Dlectricity.
Atlantis Dance City, presented by artist Cary Loren, is an interactive installation created inside the Mobile Homestead garage, based on the designs of Sun Ra, 1970s Detroit dance show The Scene, and Diver Dan, an underwater puppet show from the 1960s. Wear a mask and follow the dance runway. Live music by Monster Island. Stop by in a costume, enter the future and shake a tail-feather!
Mother: Assuming the form of a Detroit-style house party, Mother is an interactive performance which explores conceptions of the divine feminine through sound, movement, and light. Presented by Sameer Reddy and featuring performances from Christina Sears-Etter (Artistic Director of People’s Dancing), Ivan Antonio Gamboa, Ta’rajee Omar, Bailey Scieszka, and more. DJ sets by Aaron ‘FIT’ Siegel on Friday and Scott Zacharias on Saturday.
Broken Dance (Beatboxed): Shaun Gladwell is renowned for his mesmerizing studies of the body in motion set against the backdrop of gritty urban environments or remote landscapes. The dual-channel video installation Broken Dance (Beatboxed) continues his engagement with the nexus between embodied expression and urban subcultures.
