Asia Society Texas Center, in collaboration with the University of Houston Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts, presents a new site-specific choreographic work by Jonah Bokaer.

In his first-ever choreographic dialogue with sculpture, Bokaer poses the question, "How does the body erase itself, to prefer matter against presence?" Loren Kiyoshi Dempster contributes music with a rare live performance of John Cage's One⁸ (1991) for solo cello. 5:30pm. Asia Society Texas Center, 1370 Southmore.
