Learn more about Extinction Rituals, by artists LEIMAY: Ximena Garnica & Shige Moriya, Creative Capital Grantees 2023.
Extinction Rituals is a catalyst for mourning and action in response to the current ecocide. Created by choreographer/director/design duo Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya with the LEIMAY Ensemble, this evening-length performance will feature acts of remembrance and collective grieving that reflect on biodiversity loss and extinction in the artists’ places of origin and the place they now call home. Extinction Rituals will be produced by LEIMAY with additional presenting partners and has confirmed work-in-progress presentations in New York City at the Japan Society (June 2023). Public encounters and research trips will occur throughout FY23–24 with an evening-length premiere in 2025.
This multidisciplinary project will be built through residencies in Japan, Colombia, and New York. Garnica and Moriya will share time and space with artists, scientists, and community members in Colombia, Japan, and New York, offering movement workshops, practice exchanges, and conversations. They will invite a group of thought partners, along with local community members, to share stories, knowledge, and creative materials (poetry, text, music, visual art, etc.), which will be incorporated into the performance and sound composition. Extinction Rituals will manifest as an episodic series of poetic vignettes incorporating movement, song, spoken word, music, and/or visual storytelling to create short rituals honoring selected extinct species.
