SATORI CIRCUS’ Cabaret Club – WSG / Hayla Hay in her new performance art piece “Empty Nesters”
- Matinee Performances Only -
On September 29, 2024, detroit contemporary and Vertebrae Collective will present SATORI CIRCUS in a new performance art piece, ‘SATORI CIRCUS’ Cabaret Club’, singing songs from his ‘365’ project. Along with a powerful new voice in performance art, Detroit performance artist, Hayla Hay, who will debut her new performance art piece, ‘Empty Nesters’. This will be an afternoon of pure energy.
The ‘365’ project came to fruition at the height of the pandemic when it seemed as if the local creative engine had slowed. Uncertainty was lingering and performing live, for an audience was all but impossible. Rising from his insatiable appetite to keep creating, SATORI CIRCUS challenged himself to do a song a day for a year and what he amassed over that period were 365 musical pieces. Some good, some bad and some just plain WTF, but it allowed for a creative outlet. The project began in April of 2020 and finished in August of 2021.
With “Cabaret Club’ you’ll get no heavy-duty props, no spoken word, no live band, no performing with friends. Just SATORI CIRCUS on stage singing a selection of musical numbers created under the ‘365’ project. This performance, a mixture of song and conversation, will allow the audience an insight to his process and the history behind the making of the ‘365’ project. Audience questions are encouraged throughout.
Hayla Hay (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist specializing in performance art and lives and works in Detroit. “Empty Nesters”, a new performance art piece by Hayla sets the scene: bored at a family dinner, when suddenly her imagination gets the best of her as she transforms into a half bird / half girl. While exploring her new avian form, she wanders through the wilderness tasked with building a nest for her unhatched eggs. Hayla encourages the audience to get in touch with their inner wild animal and lean back into the childlike sense of play with her, for this performance. Hayla Hay is a new voice in Detroit’s Performance Art world…someone to keep your eyes on!!
