Before Bacchae Before
HMD is an ODC Home Company
Before Bacchae Before is a dance film by Maxe Crandall (playwright) and Hope Mohr (choreographer), inspired by the tragedies of gender reveal parties and Anne Carson’s Bakkhai. Before Bacchae Before collides false binaries: form and non-form, objecthood and sentience, set choreography and improvisation, dance and language. The film features performances by Annie Danger, Belinda He, Cliff Hengst, Danny Thanh Nguyen, Karla Quintero, a cast of "cult members," and puppetry and object animation by C. Michael Chin.

C*NT II: The Void
In C*NT II: The Void, Monique Jenkinson/Fauxnique uses the medium of video to reframe and magnify aspects of her provocative 2017 work C*NT, or, the Horror of Nothing to See. Departing from the earlier work’s undercurrent of feminist rage, this iteration proposes a kind of ceremony to reckon with and shift the philosophical and literal ground on which we stand. As a feminist performing drag, Jenkinson propels her own body into the history of drag’s complex relationship to femaleness and emerges with a sense of rigor and humor intact.
