Feather Star explores human and non-human entanglements, attuning a myriad of bodies to the beauty and diversity of interdependent ecological systems. Alicia Frankovich seeks out new images and imaginaries in the age of the Capitalocene - an epoch defined by extraction and overconsumption - to find alternative ways of living and being in the world.

Derived from a child’s existential questions, Feather Star is a movement work that unfolds through a relational exchange between performers (trained and untrained) into choreographic knowledge-making, vocal utterances, and sound. Motifs are drawn from the microscopic realms of symbiotic bacteria to the motions of underwater creatures, and the interplanetary escapism of Big Tech. By enlisting performers to layer and embody imagery, Feather Star figures possible modes of queer world-building and resistance in the context of climate collapse.
