A post-show discussion with the artist and collaborators follows!About this EventWhat happens when the "High Priestess of Modern Dance" meets the "Queen of Pop"?Step into a world where the rigid lines of the proscenium arch melt into the neon glow of a stadium tour. The Marthaodyssey is a solo, evening-length spectacle by dance artist Jesse Factor that dares to ask: What if Martha Graham choreographed Madonna’s 1990 Blonde Ambition World Tour?It’s a high-camp, high-art drag transformation. Factor siphons the rich, visceral physicality of Martha Graham’s legendary archive and recontextualizes it through the sonic landscape of Madonna’s most iconic era.Expect a lip sync like you’ve never seen before—where the angular contractions of modern dance collide with the fierce attitude of the 90s ballroom scene.Photo Credit: Beth BarbisJESSE FACTORJesse Factor’s obsession with the cultural phenomenon of the diva figure, iconicity, and remembering provides an entry point into his solo work. This growing repertoire centers artifice, nostalgia, and cross gender-identification. His ongoing ‘Marthaodyssey’' series builds imagined combinations of archival Graham movement and themes with popular music and takes delight in the dissonant intersections of these worlds. Other works such as ‘Relic’, ‘Mommie Queerest’ and ‘Kween Kong’ embody impossible fusions, bridge cultural worlds, and play with concepts of the monstrous and sublime. Awards include National Dance Project Finalist and Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council Arts Revival Grant for ‘Show Queen’, Twin Cities Arts Reader Critics Pick and Minnesota Fringe Staff Pick for ‘RELIC’ at the MN Fringe Festival, and Outstanding Dance Performance for ‘Marthagany’ at the Fresh Fruit Festival (NYC). Factor received a Kelly Strayhorn Theater Freshworks residency (Pgh) for ‘I am a Haunted House’, a collaborative work with multimedia artist Scott Andrew in 2020. Factor’s work has been presented at TQ Live! - Andy Warhol Museum (Pgh), Boston Contemporary Dance Festival, Harvest Chicago Contemporary Dance Festival, KYLD Inhale (Phila), OUTsider Festival (Austin), Milton Art Bank (Milton), RADfest (Kalamazoo), Fierce Queer Burlesque (Toronto), St. Mark’s Church in the Bowery, Fresh Fruit Festival (NYC) and House of Yes (NYC). Factor danced professionally with the Martha Graham Dance Company, Graham II, National Touring Company of CATS, and earned a BFA from Tisch/NYU, MFA from the University of Iowa. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/lewiston/jesse-factor-the-marthaodyssey-thursday-july-30-7-30pm/100001988689483780 - **Event Categories**: festivals, art, dance, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Schaeffer Theatre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 130.64, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Lewiston - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: Schaeffer Theatre - **lat**: 44.10746159999999 - **long**: -70.20468890000001 - **full address**: Schaeffer Theatre, 305 College Street, Lewiston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Jesse Factor The Marthaodyssey | Thursday | July 30 | 7:30PM - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/5cc44c31cf44625e420c4a91d0ced8a365fe48f6726ff532f91de68f82b4eb33-rimg-w1200-h600-dc000001-gmir.jpg?v=1778322983 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Jesse Factor The Marthaodyssey | Thursday | July 30 | 7:30PM being held? - **A:** Jesse Factor The Marthaodyssey | Thursday | July 30 | 7:30PM takes place on Thu, 30 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Thu, 30 Jul, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Schaeffer Theatre, 305 College Street, Lewiston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Jesse Factor The Marthaodyssey | Thursday | July 30 | 7:30PM? - **A:** Jesse Factor The Marthaodyssey | Thursday | July 30 | 7:30PM is organized by Bates Dance Festival. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
