SUMMARY:NOW 2025: Week Three - Lu Coy\, jeremy de’jon guyton\, Luna Izpisua Rodriguez
DESCRIPTION:The 22nd annual New Original Works concludes with a program of works by Lu Coy\, jeremy de’jon guyton\, and Luna Izpisua Rodriguez. \nBUY A FESTIVAL PASS! SEE ALL 9 WORKS FOR $50! \n  \nLu Coy \nBecoming the Moon \nLu Coy (Music Performer Composer MFA 18) crafts an opera that illuminates the Florentine Codex’s account of Tecciztecatl—a gender-expansive Mexica moon deity. Blending original poetry with translation of the 16th-century Nahuatl manuscript\, this performance unfolds through song\, animation\, storytelling\, and movement. Guiding audiences through transcestral memory\, Coy conjures a retelling that connects to their own lived experiences of the ache and radiance of transfeminine rebirth. Excavating queer narratives from colonial materials\, Coy combines experimental electronic music with virtuosic vocal performance and pre-Columbian instrumentation in an examination of the beauty found under the cover of darkness. \n  \njeremy de’jon guyton \nnotes on building a foundation\, 1963 \nBlending lyrical text\, fluid movement\, and nostalgic audio-visual elements drawn from his own family archive\, this poetic autofiction by jeremy de’jon guyton is a meditation on legacy\, displacement\, and the urgent desire for sanctuary. notes on building a foundation\, 1963 brings audiences into a survival bunker where memory\, movement\, and myth converge as Q.S. excavates ancestral artifacts from their family’s flight Westward in 1963 and stories passed down over three generations. As Los Angeles fires\, both literal and political\, force new waves of migration\, this interdisciplinary dance performance asks: How do we preserve what matters when the world around us is burning? This timely performance dares to reimagine survival through the unrelenting search for home. \n\nLuna Izpisua Rodriguez \nOpen House \nAt the foreclosure sale of a beachfront home in Southern California\, a realtor masked in plastic surgery feeds the desperation of ownership. Two first-time buyers grip each other in the primary closet\, lost in the fantasy of a real estate flipper. Neighbors walk around nervously—who will be next? Visitors test the way their bodies sink into the shiny staging sofa\, unaware that a coyote is nursing her young in the guest room. The ghosts of California’s keepers and takers slip out through the cracks in the drywall. Yet no matter what befalls\, no one relinquishes the desperate belief that this land can be possessed. Directed by Luna Izpisua Rodriguez (Art and Theater Directing MFA 24)\, Open House is a meditation on erosion\, both geological and psychic—on how losing land can feel like losing self. \n\nNOW 2025: Week Three will be presented as one shared program of all three works on Thursday\, Friday\, and Saturday.  \nPlease note: Becoming the Moon and notes on building a foundation\, 1963 contain loud sounds; Open House contains nudity and mature content. \nBecoming the Moon was made possible in part by a Foundation for the Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant. \n\n Discounts available for REDCAT members\, students & the CalArts faculty and staff
