Feed//Swallow - Philadelphia Fringe Festival

Feed//Swallow

Future Adjacent

Dance, Interdisciplinary, Performance Art

Feed//Swallow is a symbolic journey representing Alex Brazinski and Chloe Marie's experience as a couple who both work as artists in Philadelphia. They are inspired by the arduous but worthwhile journey to build a life together while also pushing through a career that often asks for individuality in order to succeed.

Themes being explored: trust//support, freedom//domesticity, jealousy//doubt, and indulgence//repugnance. Questions guiding the process: Is creating artistic work together feeding the relationship or suffocating it? Can your partner be your teacher? How does being witnessed by an audience influence performance? Can a relationship be authentic when witnessed?

Alex and Chloe are interested in exposing how, over time, the way you view your loved one changes. How some days they are monstrous because they didn’t fold the clothes, or forgot to refill the toilet paper; and other days they are a beacon of endless possibilities, and the only person who understands you.

With props, cue cards, and opportunities to speak with Feed or Swallow-the worlds created are as much the audience to imagine as it is the performers.
