SYZYGEAN BY NEOMA

at THE PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH SOCIETY, LOS FELIZ

Raze the Whitebox presents:
a dance opera—

Syzygean is a night of after-earth fables presented by Neoma (a collective of multidisciplinary artists).

Sprouting from workshop concepts by josie j, Syzygean is a conjunction of collected fables by artists from Los Angeles and beyond. Each contributes an equal part to this tapestry of tales.

The work is a meditative living book about a hollow earth, robbed of its insides. This dimensional tapestry unfolds in alignment with an experimental orchestra and video dioramas.

Flowing from one fable to the next, Syzygean explores the many spirits remaining after the dust has settled, once civilization has crumbled.

about
Neoma is a collective of interdisciplinary artists collaborating on a dance opera. We are a diverse group of artists practicing in the fields of dance, photography, sound, sculpture, visual arts, and healing arts. Most came together in the search for practicum and community-based mindfulness. Neoma was formed from butoh workshops facilitated by josie j at The Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, CA.

Neoma consists of LA-based artists representing different nationalities and backgrounds. We support artists traveling to join our group performances and teach workshops.
