The Oath

Presented in partnership with Fusebox | Concept and choreography by Annie-B Parson, Directed by Alla Kovgan
Thu Apr 16, 2026 - Sun Apr 19, 2026

 

Throughout Fusebox Festival, the film The Oath will move across the city—screened nightly on the side of a different building.

Since the beginning of time — in community, clan, congregation, and club — humans have developed systems of unison movement in large groups, for purpose and for pleasure, both utopian and dystopian. Set in a vivid universe of color and based on Annie-B Parson’s stage choreography, The Oath explores humanity’s shared history of vernacular and poetic unison movement. It features seventeen women and femmes (aged 24-80), moving as one to embody a larger statement.
