Featuring theatrical performance and live collaborations by Claire Alrich, edgy body movement performance by Anh Vo, and film screening of ‘Foot Stretcher” by Inbar Hagai

The Compound’s Multidisciplinary Arts Program is pleased to present Silver Baits, Silver Archives, a culminating multi-chapter series unfolding across exhibitions, performances, screenings, and site-responsive interventions from June 20 – July 25, 2026.

In this chapter, the archive refuses containment. It slips off the table, dispersing into movement, sound, and embodied encounter. Rather than a site of preservation, the archive becomes a live circuitry—activated, distorted, and redistributed across bodies, space, and time. Claire Alrich’s theatrical participatory performance unfolds as a through-space fabric embodiment, treating the body as both carrier and rupture of recorded experience. Anh Vo will carry megaphones over the queue barriers’ obstructions, leading to a reckoning with the invisible power that looms over us and penetrates our very flesh.The screening of Foot Stretcher by Inbar Hagai extends this logic into a durational, intimate discipline: a year-long, near-impossible attempt to become a ballerina, where the body is subjected to regimes of aspiration, failure, and transformation. The archive here is a force that molds—stretching flesh, rehearsing desire, and exposing the violence embedded in ideals of form.
