SuperGroup and Red Eye Theater present Fine, a work of fits and starts dedicated to the uselessness of performance in all its glory (useless as a function of useful); dedicated to a community of artists, audience, and supporters that know to not know; dedicated to Mary and wolves and the escape of new pathways. With bitingly absurd humor, a dance language built on 14 years of collaboration, and a few moving blankets, Fine explores how performance extends the self, how we agree on anything, and how we move on. Imagining and reimagining performance that stretches, blurs, and binds a world where time and space are in horizontal equity with story, movement, character, shape and emotion, SuperGroup invites audiences into a requiem of the past several years—or of a whole lifetime.
