If the Sky Could Dream: Dragonatomy

We search for dragons in art, in movement, in music, and in ourselves. Reflect upon the Year of the Dragon in this exploratory performance by Irene Hsiao in collaboration with Paige Brown, Hunter Diamond, Menghua Guan, Penny Li, Amanda Maraist, Scott Rubin, Darling “Shear” Squire, and Peter Wong at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art.

If the Sky Could Dream combines drawing, painting, dance, found materials and found spaces at the museum to reveal and celebrate the dragons among us—structural, ancestral, architectural, internal, and environmental. Because the dragon is a water deity in Chinese culture, this work also features projections of the waters of Chicago: Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and the lakes, ponds, and lagoons of Chicago Parks.
