World Premiere | The Joyce Theater, November 5-9, 2026
MOTHER. Miller conjures a fantastical universe beyond human myth, charged with mystical allure in a sensual, haunting physical reality. Through GALLIM artists’ virtuosic intensity and fearless movement, Miller confronts what she calls the “Apocalypse of Matter”: our growing distance from touch, skin, and organic surrender. Visceral, mesmerizing, obsessive and aesthetically uncompromising, MOTHER takes us to an unimagined, magnetic world, made to be inhabited through our senses.
A collision of fashion, art and music, MOTHER features an original electronic dance score by Frédéric Despierre, with surreal costume design by Orly Anan, and evocative lighting design by Vincent Vigilante continuing a long history of collaboration with these brilliant artists.
“That’s the kind of work Gallim makes — boundary-pushing yet accessible, abstract yet deeply human.”
