Kayan is a collective of artists and creative people who use their practice to engage directly with the complexity of their own identities.

Visual art, music, poetry, movement storytelling, sound – the form is fluid and the the format is intimate. Their work becomes a mirror and the protective barrier of audience/performer dissipates into the air between.

Kayan created a series of events exploring the process through which our identities evolve over time. Rotating in cycles, like all of nature, we are never fixed. For the closing and fifth event of this cycle – REBIRTH – we will collaborate with MidWest, a space that never shies from the complexity of identity.

For this event, we will celebrate where we’ve come and gone together, inviting previous performers back, each one will reflect and dialogue with the selves they’ve become along the way, sharing their newest work with us to usher in summer, a time of life in full swing, despite it all, an annual REBIRTH.

Come by for good food, good people and an evening filled with performances to feel reborn (together).
