The Front Arte y Cultura and Kilikili Project present “Don’t Look at Me” a video concert screening previously filmed at The FRONT Arte Cultura on the day of the solar eclipse, April 8th 2024. Kilikili is the brainchild of Lexi Pulido, birthed under her original jazz alternative quintet, now the psuedonym for ensemble variations of her original compositions. For this performance, Pulido worked alongside Katie Berns and Ryan Ebaugh to deliver arrangements of spoken word, powerfully-woven melodic play, and physically challenging, theatrical gestures. From the artist, "'Don’t look at me' liberates the artist from ego, bowing to the role as vessel over self." The event runs 5 - 7 p.m.The film itself lasts 30 minutes and will be preceded by a brief artist presentation beginning around 5:30 p.m. Following the film, attendees will be invited to partake in homemade rice krispies wrapped in the excess red plastic wrap she has used in multiple performances throughout 2024 as a symbol of shame, an invitation to "peel back the layers" of shame to access pleasure. This event is free, and we request your RSVP to get a head count going!
