NEW WORK

Untitled, a new collaboration between zoe | juniper and punk band  Xiu Xiu premiering in 2025, is a dance and live music performance created with dramaturge Mikhaela Mahony, choreography by Zoe Scofield, text by Dahlak Brathwaite, costumes by Kaye Voyce, video projection design by Juniper Shuey, puppets by Joe Seely and four stellar dancers. Untitled is inspired by Zoe’s experience of being falsely accused of sexual misconduct while simultaneously being a survivor of sexual assault. The injustice of being wrongfully accused of sexual harassment sits in stark contrast to the lack of prosecution of sexual perpetrators and the justice that is often not received. 

 zj and Xiu Xiu examine the Crucible, the reversal of Roe vs Wade, the backlash against the MeToo movement, the insidiousness of patriarchy, and Jordan Peele’s horror films, performed live by XX and dancers on a sculptural set. Peele’s film and T.V. work turns racism into physical horror and like a monster in a horror film, the patriarchy mutates to survive. It co-opts the language of feminism and resistance while stripping away our rights and agency over our bodies.
