Cellista's Élégie debuts on March 23rd, 2024 at the Gordon Gamm Theater at the Dairy Arts Center!

Cellista’s “Élégie” is a one-woman show for cello, static trapeze, and cinema.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of “Élégie,” a one-woman show combining static trapeze and aerial cello, haunting melodies, and cinematic visuals. Follow the journey of Élégie, a shapeshifting blackbird, as she awakens to the deserted city of Cloture, the city she lives alongside.

Élégie reveals surreal scenes through a unique fusion of physicality and storytelling. The static trapeze serves as Elegie’s metaphorical perch, accompanied by the evocative sounds of her magical companion the cello, and a cinematic backdrop.

Élégie, the theatrical stage poem and the accompanying album by Cellista, comes out on March 23, 2024 (Juxtapositions). First AERIAL CELLO live event takes place on January 25th at NECCA - New England Center for Circus Arts in Brattleboro, VT. A full live staging of Élégie will debut Saturday, March 23rd at Dairy Arts Center in Boulder.
The album is a collection of Cellista’s work spanning the last few years and includes a re-working of the hit song “Where Is My Mind?” by Frank Black. Élégie is directed and performed by Cellista. Choreography is by Cellista, Kennedy Kabasares, and Joel Baker / Joel Baker Circus Artist

It is with heavy hearts that we must say farewell. All good things come to an end and our time on The Porchfront was as good as it gets. We want to thank Cellista and Az Azhyd for the most incredible experience of our lives. We thank all of you for your love and support. Our micro-center for the arts in Old Town Longmont touched so many and we truly accomplished what we set out to do: make art and performance available to our community. When one thing ends it opens the door for new beginnings and we are open to whatever comes next.

At the time, we didn't know that Carrie & Drew would have the last performance here, but they were perfect. Carrie Cimo and Drew Albright have been with us since the first season and we had the privilege to watch them grow as artists. Please make every effort to support them, we know we will.
