Join Aquarius Funkk at The Apohadion Theatre for a screening of experimental performance art films. Since 2020, Aquarius has been developing conceptual performances and building worlds that bend the realities of spacetime. These films, produced over a span of 5 years, provide a glimpse into the development of the artist's Afrosurrealist vision, and their voice in filmmaking and self-produced digital media. Aquarius will show 4 short films, followed by a Q&A and reception.
About the artist:
Aquarius Funkk (they/them) is an experimental and interdisciplinary artist creating performance, video, photography, digital art, and wearable art. Known as The Interplanetary Extraordinary, they are an expansive being who channels the cosmos through their performances. Aquarius creates immersive works centered around radical expression, genderfluidity, and Afrosurrealist world building.
Aquarius is influenced by Afrofuturism and Black culture, high fashion, sci-fi, speculative fiction, and their own queer and non-binary lived experiences. Their work is an amalgamation of movement, ritual, body intelligence, and layering of multi-sensory elements, shaped by the practices and traditions of vogue ballroom, neo-burlesque, street performance, and experimental dance & theatre.
Since 2019, Aquarius has been residing in Mexico full-time. Between the U.S. and Mexico, they have worked extensively with performance art troupe La Pocha Nostra since 2016. Their film, A Letter To America, From a Parallel Universe, was featured in the 2021 Open Art Festival online exhibition, and their film Deep Fake was screened in the 2022 Videoaktion Film Festival in Berlin, Germany. In August 2024, they produced Opulence Mini Ball at SPACE Gallery in Portland, Maine. In November 2024, their film Reflections From the Void was shown in the Phull Phantasy virtual showcase for Theyfriend Non-Binary Performance Art Festival. They are currently in process of returning to their roots in Maine and building new pathways of interconnection between their home state, Mexico, and beyond.
