concept and music production by Anchi Trinh

lyrics by Marios Pavlou 

 

UMMN perform a live act as a surprise queer pop interval in the middle of a jazz concert while being streamed live on Instagram. The lyrics are inspired by queer based love stories and . The choreography included elements of contact improvisation, where the performers interacted with each other in ways that reflected trust, connection, and mutual support. Movements mimicked the flow of water, the crash of waves, and the gentle ebb and flow of tides, visually reinforcing the sociopolitical themes of the lyrics.
