WREST, Reprise is the development of a previous collaborative project, WREST, which explores the story of Joan of Arc as an archetypal representation of transformation. This experimental narrative depicts moments of imperative change housed within the queer body. Composer Jules Gimbrone and filmmaker Elliot Montague, create a dynamic 45-minute performance joining two artistic mediums – a live 7-piece music ensemble and projected single channel film. 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

An evening showcase curated by Elliot Montague and Jules Gimbrone, TOGETHER, couples experimental films with live music to allow for chance occurrence, conversation, harmony, and discord.
