A ballet in 3 Acts:

9 photographic works

81 tires

6 dancers

Act 1.- Interiors

The entrance.

in between spaces invoked

no horizon

gold reflector, reflect

a bowl remains

Act 2.- Greenhouse

The greenhouse growth lab is a limbo, each photograph is a pod.

I’m growing men. Suddenly there’s no gender.

Invasion of the body snatchers.

Ecosystem and Fluidity

Amnesia

The biogenesis of JEN as a framework

grafting the pre-Raphaelite urgency to approach nature, erase genre painting,

a greenhouse revolting from the revolt to the revolt.

Suspension of nature, suspended mortality, science fiction.

Possession

Act 3.- The impossibility of Writing Fiction Today

A fallen monument built by tires, has collapsed (not destroyed)

A para monument and the politics of memory.

Geography of the body, consumption, tires, dismantle a gesture, a movement.

Creative structure, mobilization, mapping.

Historically a revolution begins with destruction, structural and transient revolutions, ruined.

Choreographed revolution, the monolith is capricious and destructive, circling

Dissent, Dissonance, Dementia.

The nines keep appearing.

CENTRAL FINE will present 9, a new performance ballet by Jen DeNike in collaboration with choreographer and principal dancer of Miami City Ballet Rainer Krenstetter.
