Edenic Idyllic: I Can Take You To Heaven, Let Me Take You To Heaven gathers a small group of people in a state of creative suspension, as each awaits a private, one-on-one performance within a ritualized Technicolor realm, behind a closet door. Heavens are invoked, dances are shared and kindness is made manifest in an altar-like environment that reconfigures dollar-store finds and hand-made crafts into resonant geometric constellations. With Edenic Idyllic, Gregory Barnett launches a series of projects inspired by the teenage party game Seven Minutes in Heaven that explores the potential of intimate, co-imagined states of being.
Creation and Installation: Gregory Barnett
Performers: Gregory Barnett, with Diamondback Annie, Kate Gilbert
