Four performers commit to remembering one another, holding one another, bearing one another, and sustaining the world that contains them. A dense visual and sonic landscape invites the audience to witness this shared practice and to resonate within it. my tongue is a blade will be performed by Okwui Okpokwasili, Bria Bacon, Kris Lee and AJ Wilmore.

Sweat Variant is the collaborative practice of artists Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born, partners in both their work and their lives. Since 1996, they have worked at the intersection of dance, theatre, and visual art, creating rigorous work that re-centers what has historically been deemed marginal through sustained explorations of Black interiority. Their projects include the Bessie Award–winning pent up: a revenge dance and Bronx Gothic, and their work has been presented internationally. Okpokwasili is the recipient of numerous honors, including a Doris Duke Artist Award and a MacArthur Fellowship.
