DIVA DIVAN

The divas are those fleshy things, reclining so vogue-ishly, stalking so deliberately. Alternately haunting and hunting the space between the divan center and the fridges on the perimeter, the divas have ritualized their movement and words into an iconic and metaphysical plane. DIVA DIVAN is the environment proposed by the evolving group of 12 writers, 12 performers, and 12 visual artists working collaboratively and pseudonymously under the name Cult 12. In this work-in-progress art installation and butoh inspired performance four divas inhabit the juncture of text, movement, and art object.
