Inspired by postmodern visual artist Yves Klein, Into the Void mixes visual arts, drag performance and visceral choreography performed by five dancers to evoke the complex gender politics of Klein's work. Juxtaposing ornate materials with open spaces and transparent fabrics, the stage environment and materials mimic Klein's artistic ideals as re-envisioned by a creative team including fashion designers, composers and visual artists. Graham-trained dancer/choreographer Catherine Cabeen was a longtime Bill T. Jones performer and artistic associate (including Assistant Choreographer for the award winning Spring Awakening). Since then she has founded Catherine Cabeen and Company to act as a forum for investigating both the creative processes and artistic products that result when artists of different mediums collide.
