Luna Beller-Tadiar
Luna Beller-Tadiar is a queer mixed-Filipinx multi-media artist, performer, and scholar who works in choreography, video, text, and comics. Her work takes (colonial) mimicry as method to excavate a body language made up of fragments—remnants of lands, communities, and machines.
On November 3 at BAM’s Harvey Theater, Trajal Harrell stands at the edge of the stage, watching us. The house lights are up; the people chatter, stacked up the slope of the orchestra and into the balconies. In black pants and a white button down, a pale silk dress draped from his neck, Harrell is still but for a turn of the head as he scans the room. There’s a strange expression on his face, sliding between annoyance or anguish, disbelief or disgust. Is he trembling?
