This 40-minute live performance by Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh, Veronica Santiago Moniello, and Heidi Wiren Kébé is an immersive ritual of movement, sound, and sculpture exploring matriarchal force, cunning, and transformation within a shifting, spinning cycle.

Inspired by the mythology of horses and foxes—symbols of strength, cunning, and control—the piece interrogates how societies frame women as both powerful and perilous. Set in Studio A at Pittsburgh’s WQED, HORSES & FOXES positions the audience in the round, using a dance cipher as a site of engagement. Through choreographed bodies, objects and live sound processing, the piece examines power thresholds: when it is given, how it is wielded, and when it fractures.
