SUMMARY:New Original Works Festival 2026: Week Two
DESCRIPTION:Brenda Barrios Muñequita Muy Muy Drawing inspiration from her 
 experience as a first-generation Mexican American\, Brenda Barrios ‘ Mu
 ñequita Muy Muy blends cultural symbolism\, queerness\, and disability in
 to a celebration of healing and visibility. Barrios uses sculpture\, dance
 \, song\, and storytelling to bring life-size replica dolls and a motorize
 d truck onstage alongside live musicians and performers. Barrios composes 
 and performs original music combining pop music and Mexican operatic vocal
  traditions with ranchera and rock en español\, alongside extended vocal 
 techniques including el grito mexicano. Her detailed\, hyperrealistic scul
 ptures transform familiar objects into milagritos—Mexican charms to medi
 tate on how bodies hold histories of care\, struggle\, and evolution. Cody
  Perkins / Algorythm.Code Motherboard Can machines support empathy\, rathe
 r than extraction? Choreographer\, composer\, and director Cody Perkins / 
 Algorythm.Code (Art and Technology MFA) takes up this question about techn
 ology and intimacy in Motherboard. In this dance and music piece\, perform
 er Gretch Ackerman enters into an evolving relationship with the Motherboa
 rd shrine—an independent electronic device onstage that observes\, respo
 nds to\, and directs her body. Perkins draws a connection between women an
 d machines\, recognizing that both have historically been controlled and d
 iscarded within systems of power. Through movement\, sound\, ritual\, and 
 interaction with the Motherboard shrine\, a shared history of exploitation
  evolves into a duet of care and exchange. SUUVI REGENESIS Combining origi
 nal music for cello and electronics with audio and motion-reactive visuals
 \, REGENESIS explores cycles of rupture\, transformation\, and renewal. Th
 is interdisciplinary performance draws connections between the rejuvenatio
 n of ecosystems\, the formation of stars\, and the healing of the human ne
 rvous system\, weaving SUUVI’s personal journey into a broader meditatio
 n on resilience and new life. Her virtuosic composition and solo performan
 ce on electrified cello is mixed with cinematic visuals by Kyter Steffes a
 nd choreography by Megan Paradowski\, in a work that invites audiences to 
 reflect on how collapse can become the catalyst for new possibilities. Ple
 ase note: Muñequita Muy Muy contains flashing lights\, loud sounds and ma
 ture content; Motherboard contains nudity and loud sounds; REGENESIS conta
 ins flashing lights\, loud sounds and mature content. NOW 2026: Week Two w
 ill be presented as one shared program of all three works on Thursday\, Fr
 iday\, and Saturday.\n\nhttps://mycityscene.com/72696-64d693d1
