A series of performances created in collaboration with composer Nick Hallett, bring to life the inner world of artist Shana Moulton’s performance persona Cynthia. Follow Cynthia’s quest for wellness and knowledge as she navigates an ecstatic environment in which things are not what they seem. The performance will take the form of a medical ritual, in which a team of care providers—performed by musicians Nava Dunkelman, Shayna Dunkelman, Raquel Acevedo Klein, Anaïs Maviel, and Nick Hallett—guides Cynthia through a series of strengthening exercises and lessons in self-acceptance. In a final act of transformation, she achieves synchrony with the mysterious workings of the universe.

Free with museum admission. Capacity is limited and advance registration is required. There will be a first-come, first-served standby line beginning 30 minutes before the event.
Moulton’s site-specific prismatic installation employs the artist’s signature blend of spiritual imagery, medical technology, popular culture, and references to high art and dollar-store kitsch. Colorful, surreal performance, video, and sculpture examines the aesthetics of pain and healing and the mass marketing of wellness.
