Through experimental narrative, WREST explores the story of Joan of Arc as
an archetypal representation of transformation. WREST depicts moments of
imperative change housed within the queer body. Composer Jules Gimbrone,
filmmaker Elliot Montague, and choreographer Jennifer Rosenblit create a
dynamic 45-minute performance joining three artistic mediums – a live 7-piece
music ensemble, projected single channel film, and live dance. Montague’s film
draws on saints and mythological figures to bend reality and lead his character
through internal and environmental extremities. Gimbrone’s ensemble creates
a symphonic landscape through a dramatic mash of polyrhythm, grand melodic
gestures, abrasive sound textures, and primordial vocalizations. Rosenblit’s
choreography takes on texture and locates the body in extreme states from
warrior in battle, triumph, euphoria and the failure of maintaining order.
