Naama Tsabar and Kristin Mueller performing “Untitled (Double Face)”
4:00 - 4:30 - Naama Set I
6:00 - 6:30 - Naama Set II

Amidst these turbulent times Tsabar and Mueller came together at KINOSAITO to workshop a new performance on Tsabar’s sculpture “Untitled (Double Face)” - a single guitar that has two necks and requires the performers to lean on each other, negotiating movement and sound, while playing.
This work is a place for two separate and distinct bodies to exist, to be equal. A place for negotiating, for acknowledging each other, for moving in and through conflict and beauty, for creating together.
The program will include the long running performance “Untitled (Double Face)”, 2016 and the debut of the performance developed at KINOSAITO with the support of NYSCA.&nbsp;
