Unheard-of//Ensemble presents the world premiere of a new commission from composer Ana Lopez-Reyes (NNUX) and video artist Martha Maya. Helix is a piece that simulates a spiral from pre-Hispanic to contemporary times, contemplating the cycles and inheritance in women's collective trauma, which has determined the ways we've been shaped as individuals through generations. NNUX and Martha Maya are looking at breaking the cycles in women’s generational collective trauma. This work explores their backgrounds and relationships with this trauma, and how femicide impacts Latinx communities generationally. Musically, the piece will also explore the idea of these sonic loops that gradually change and break, expanding on the ideas that Ana and Maya would be exploring visually. NNUX will be at this premiere and present an opening set of her electronic music.
