Coming Through

Coming Through is a new show from Irina Kuzminsky (aka Irinunshka) that takes us on a mystical feminist journey into a multi- disciplinary art performance, combining dance, song, and poetry.

The show is divided into three sections that ruminate on grief, death and rebirth.  Her dance performance is the central force and provides an esoteric exploration of female empowerment within the traditions of classical ballet, contemporary dance and yoga movements.

There appears to be a lot of self-healing in her work, seeing art as a bridge into spiritual awareness while in search for her own divination. Her poetry and operatic songs are other worldly; she summons her energy and channels her own inner goddess, calling out to  Kali, the Hindu goddess of creation, destruction and power. Mary Magdalene is referenced, her role as the repentant prostitute.  Kuzminsky reflects on her biblical strength and courage.

The soundtrack is an eclectic mix, well-integrated into the performance, and lighting transitions are aptly designed to create a fluctuating mood. Irinunshka is a fascinating performer who is on her own creative journey of inner self -enrichment.
