I think about love on a scale from 1 to 10. Most of us find a 6 or 7, and that’s why we have divorce. It’s the truth. We settle for that 6 or 7. But I like to think Kevin is Chiron’s 10. He’s found that and he realizes that there’s no reason to settle for a 6 or a 7 because, “I know this person is my 10. Whether or not this person believes I’m his 10, I’m going to devote my life to this person entirely.” That’s why the line where he says, “You’re the only man that’s ever touched me,” for me, was the most amazing, most beautiful thing I’ve seen in cinema, period. Because that’s what we strive for as people, to find that one person because they’re there. If Kevin doesn’t feel that they should be together, Chiron is just going to die a miserable person because that’s his person and he won’t settle for anything else. But I like to think they’re together, walking in Central Park hand-in-hand when they’re 90 years old. - Trevante Rhodes

Leyya Mona Tawil: Destroy//Minneapolis

Check out the latest Soapcast interview with artist and choreographer, Leyya Mona Tawil discussing her project ‘Destroy//Minneapolis’ following the day of the performance. 

‘Destroy// All Places’ is a new ritual for new times. The performance is composed, but untethered. The artists attempt a score imbedded with mechanisms that make its execution increasingly impossible, forcing the material into stages of deterioration and evolution. ‘Destroy// All Places’ began in San Francisco in 2012, and has since visited over 23 cities including Saint Petersburg, Rome, Cairo and Athens.  Over 100 artists have participated in the project internationally. The performance took place in The Soap Factory on August 26th, 2017.

PARTICIPATING MUSICIANS: Milo Fine (percussion,) Cyrus Pireh (electric guitar,) Benjamin J Mansavage Klein (tuba)

PARTICIPATING TWIN CITIES DANCERS: Leila Awadallah, Amelia Morris, Nicole Stumpf, Jenn Pray, Laura Levinson, Ben Swenson-Klatt, Non Edwards, Pedro Pablo Lander, Abby Taylor, Gabriel Mata, Rachel Horner, Halie Bahr, Erin Drummond, Tera Kilbride, H. Uyen Nguyen, Sarah Finley
