a video poem commissioned by FolkLAB for the QUEER: New American Tall Tales show in Pittsburgh PA. best experienced with headphones in a dark quiet space.
“…much of the power and success of “tall tales” comes from exploring the nuances of a dichotomy of “bizarre and relatable.” Indeed, Gia Fagnelli’s tall-tale interpretation perhaps most vividly and ruefully epitomizes this dichotomy, with a piece centering around a cyber-dancer’s Philip K. Dick-esque, synthetic multimedia dreamscape allows the audience member to tune into the cosmic vibrance and splendor of queerness, while also brutally being exposed to the astronomical loneliness and disconnection.”
