Rant #6

MoMA PS1 presents Rant #6, the latest (and perhaps final) iteration of Ralph Lemon’s collaborative work that debuted in 2019. Each performance is conceived as what Lemon calls “a very loud site-specific sound, movement, voice, Brown/Black body cultural experiment in rage, freedom and or ecstasy…” In Rant #6, voice, text, and trance movement collide into a whirlwind of exhaustion and emphatic resistance.

The Ceremonies Out of the Air performance program includes several New York City and world premieres of Lemon’s newest works, which anchor the exhibition’s explorations of generosity, mortality, devotion, Blackness, and joy. All performances are free with RSVP. Tickets for Rant #6 will be released in early March. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified.

The performance runs approximately 60 minutes without intermission.
