The Seldoms bring their dance theater work, "RockCitizen" to this new, intimate venue in Evanston. 



"RockCitizen" creates an immersive sonic, visual and kinetic environment that recalls counter cultural spaces of the 1960s and connect them to a larger history of people pursuing breakthroughs and transformations in their lives and worlds. RockCitizen looks at social movements of the 1960s and 70s that rode waves of protest, experimentation, hedonism and dissonance in efforts to remake what it means to be an individual and a community, a citizen, and part of – or sometimes outside, or sometimes even outright against – a civic body. The figures in RockCitizen call — and agitate — for freedom; to be, to express, to work, to love. Dance and dialogue unfold under the “Brascape,” a spectacular, mobile net of 216 colored bras.
