SUMMARY:A GODDESSEY
DESCRIPTION:LAVA presents A Goddessey, our feminist survival story th
 at journeys through landscapes emotional and geologic carrying a trans
 muting traveler from a bleak and blurry patriarchal present into a rai
 nbow colored feminist future with the help of ancestors geologic and o
 therwise. A Goddessey is the synthesis, culmination, and explosion o
 f 15 years of earth moving performance by LAVA.\nLAVA brings feminist 
 acrobatics to new heights in A Goddessey, interweaving human pyramids
 , hoop diving, aerial feats, wrestling, and contact improvisation to i
 nvoke a physical expression that embodies empowerment, connection, and
  the complex inter-weaving of the individual and her community of ance
 stors, guides, goddesses, and families of all kinds.\nThe company’s 
 long-awaited and much-anticipated epic new work, which will have its W
 orld Premiere at the (new) Flea Theater in the fall of 2017, begins in
  the big bad city with obstacles and aggressions at every turn and a v
 isit to Oppression Dance Class where competition, conformity, objectif
 ication, and body shame are the lessons of the day. On the way home fr
 om class, the Traveler falls down an open “manhole” cover. With re
 ferences to traditional folk tales, Dorothy’s trip to Oz, Alice’s 
 fall down the rabbit hole, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, and O
 dysseus’ travels to faraway lands, the Traveler goes to nine landsca
 pes, each of which offers her a guide to accompany her, and a valuable
  lesson to carry home. At the end of the journey, our Traveler returns
  to the city sidewalks and a world that is transformed by lessons and 
 connections that deliver us all to a vision of transformation that cou
 ld be just within reach and just in the nick of time. LAVA’s re-tell
 ing of the traditional “hero’s journey” subverts the lone hero�
 �s quest of fights, feats, and loss, and instead offers the tale of a 
 string of connected women seeking pre-patriarchal knowledge, unearthin
 g a shared legacy of lost lessons, and enjoying a return home to a vis
 ion of future feminist balance and equality.\n\nFor more information v
