A performance autobiography of solitude and spiritual transformation. Through dance, live actions, & multimedia, afrofuturist artist Aquarius Funkk presents a tapestry of life dancing with the shadow. The flamingo – a representation of self-expression & flamboyance, a symbol of queerness, an animal generally known to remain with its flock – is the archetype of this strange creature far from their “place”, in constant molting transit(ion) to find something like home. The Lone Flamingo is a ritual of synchronicity, the closing of a cycle, a metaphorical death, and a psychomagic resurrection.
