Chasing a Dream, featuring the choreo monologue Red
THE INSTALLATION
Chasing a Dream is an immersive installation taking over AMOC.
THE ACTIVATION — July 20 ONLY
In honor of Juneteenth, the installation comes alive with Red, a choreo monologue exploring the parallel between bullfighting and the Black American fight for personhood. Performed live in the sanctuary at 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
Written by AMOC Artist-in-Residence Calvin Walker.
Performed by Bryant Huggins and Roberto Alvarez Jr.
Chasing a Dream is an immersive installation at Arts Mission Oak Cliff created by Teddy Georgia, Sonny Martinez, and Joaquin Soto that traces the journey of a dream realized through cycles of transformation, memory, death, and renewal. Utilizing fabric as both pathway and metaphorical lifeline, the installation guides visitors from the darkness of the underground into an ethereal sanctuary suspended between dream space and reality.
Visitors enter through a series of wooden arches and follow a continuous thread of fabric stretching from the wind-swept exterior trees into the floral “death” of the basement below. The journey culminates in a fog-filled sanctuary suspended between reality and dream space. Upon exiting, participants are led back into the world by the same thread, transformed by the realization that the dream and the dreamer are inseparable.
Additional activations throughout the exhibition include:
June 20 – a Juneteenth performance of Red by AMOC Artist-in-Residence Calvin Walker
