Chronicle X

Chronicle X is the first work in The Dark Girl Chronicles, a ritual-play cycle designed to crystallize in the collective memory the stories of Black women warriors against state violence. Chronicle X is Black feminist church. Made of Yoruba sacred story, documentary-manifesto, and in the form of a unique, immersive installation performance, Chronicle X is a powerful communal ritual set to the cosmic spectrum of Black sound. The audience, through headsets and using their phones, first encounter an augmented reality world, opening up into a creation story embodied by live virtuosic dancers, and exploding into a memorial service turned concert-twerk-ritual with a live band and glorious harmonies.

We provided XR production for this experience.
