gigil

Gigil is a solo work created by Alyssa Favero with Justin Calvadores. With a variety of improvisational forms, Gigil draws power from the perpetual current of motion that courses through personal rituals, queer club culture and the vast ocean. Gigil explores the expansiveness and multiplicity within identity and an unlayering of self and other.
