A Co Creation by Tushrik Fredericks & Rebecca Margolick Premieres At Trisk

For Immediate Release
OCTOBER 15, 2024
BROOKLYN, NY - Triskelion Arts is thrilled to present the premiere of to begin with no end, a co-creation by Tushrik Fredericks & Rebecca Margolick. The performance runs from November 21-23, 2024 at 8pm each night in the Trisk Theater. Through this work, using spirituality as a vessel of connection and the common denominator between two different yet similar religions; empathy, trust and intimacy is shared within the multitudes of relationships that we embody with each other. To release into the complexities gives us access to be with each other and to see from the other side.

"And now our bodies knew bodies,

They danced in unison, they got tired

They found rest without darkness Our

bodies, the performers of labor and care

could feel and breathe together Our bodies

now weren’t afraid of a sunset."

- Tsohil Bhatia

Runtime 45 minutes.

Support for this project was provided by Danse Mirage Foundation, Inc, Trust for Mutual Understanding, and Baryshnikov Arts Center Artist Residency.
