Sneak preview performance of Laurelann Porter’s new solo performance piece “Sympathy for Exú”
Sneak preview performance of Laurelann Porter’s new solo performance piece “Sympathy for Exú”
"Sympathy for Exú" (encountering the trickster at the crossroads of cowboy culture and Brazilian tourism)
In June, Laurelann Porter and her creative partner Mike Anderson will perform their brand new performance piece, “Sympathy for Exú,” at the Hazeltine Theatre in Prescott, AZ. In anticipation, Rhythm and Flavor Productions, in partnership with the 1020 Collective, are offering a sneak preview of this performance.
WHO: Laurelann Porter, performance artist
WHAT: Sympathy for Exú Sneak Preview Performance
WHERE: 1020 Holland Street, Erie PA
WHEN: Friday May 30, 7pm
WHY: Because, as the Jogo do Exú reminds us: the game is never what you think it is.
A provocative journey through the intersection of culture, identity, tourism, and privilege, this performance riffs off of and adapts The Rolling Stones' classic with a bold exploration of Brazil's vibrant traditions and the deep complexities of syncretic connections in a so-called tropical paradise. Created by Laurelann Porter in collaboration with Mestre Monza Calabar, Sympathy for Exú challenges Western assumptions about leisure, travel, and cultural exchange through an ethnographic lens.
Part performance, part ethnography, and told through a series of intimate moments - ranging from personal anecdotes of travel misadventures to the rhythm-filled beats of Bahia—this music-infused performance invites you into a world where the trickster Exú tells us the deeper truths through his game of lies. This piece will leave you reflecting on your own blind spots, your privilege, and your place within the global tourism market. Because, as the Jogo do Exú reminds us: the game is never what you think it is.
Suggested Contribution:
Supporter: $25
Collaborator: $10
Energy Base: A smile and an open heart.
No one will be turned away for lack of money.
