Join us on Friday, at 7:30pm at Progress Lab 1422 for an in-development showing of The Beating/Kinky Immigrant&nbsp;by Tanaz Roudgar! There will be a modest concession for those who need a bite/ a drink in the evening! Tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested price of $10. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. The ProjectThe Beating/Kinky Immigrant is a performance art piece about borrowing from religious prayer technology and kink for the embodiment of a queer femme body. The piece speaks to the grief of immigration and not being able to go back to one&#39;s home country and will feature poetry, music accompaniment, and choreographic score with a custom-made chain whips and chest beatings. The work is in its early stages of development, and the residency will explore the structure of storytelling inside a performance art piece.
