25 hours: the archive & performance
July 18-19, 2014
DC Arts Center
25 consecutive hours of performance to celebrate 25 years of DCAC. An endurance event of performances as varied as DCAC’s past, simultaneously reflecting on that history and pushing forward into new territory. Over the preceding months and at the event itself, memories will be collected and shared online to touch on the organization’s wide impact locally and far beyond. This accumulation of recollections will form a new archive, a materialization of personal stories, a growing portrait of DCAC.
Artists from DCAC’s past will perform along with current artists and new artists, mixing up lineage and forging new connections. Readings and re-performances from the archive will be interspersed throughout the 25 hours.
The first of the 25 hours will be high-energy, rapidly changing and erratically diverse. As the night continues the pace will slow and performances will become more quiet. There will be collaborative works through the late night and early morning. With the sunrise, a new day, nourishment, endless possibilities. Several longer pieces will pass through noon and into the afternoon. The final hours will pick up the energy of the night before, with a succession of quick, challenging, ecstatic performances. Ending, right in time, for DCAC’s anniversary party.
