From Dec. 9 to 11, REDCAT presents What Remains, a collaboration between world-renowned poet and MacArthur Fellow Claudia Rankine and choreographer and Guggenheim Fellow Will Rawls.

 

Through movement and voice, four performers invite us across the threshold of a historical void produced by anti-Blackness and respond to violence and disappearance with a resonant, ghostly chorus.

 

Inspired by Rankine’s texts on racial violence — Citizen (2014) and Don’t Let Me Be Lonely (2004) — the result is a performance at the edge of dance and poetry that meets and challenges the erasure of Black citizens with its own immersive disturbances.
