Naama Tsabar and Kristin Mueller: Untitled (Double Face)

19 Sep. 2026
Set I | 4pm
Set II | 6pm

Amidst these turbulent times Tsabar and Mueller came together at KINOSAITO to workshop a new performance on Tsabar’s sculpture Untitled (Double Face) - a single guitar that has two necks and requires the performers to lean on each other, negotiating movement and sound, while playing.

This work is a place for two separate and distinct bodies to exist, to be equal. A place for negotiating, for acknowledging each other, for moving in and through conflict and beauty, for creating together.

The program included the long running performance Untitled (Double Face), 2014 and the debut of the performance developed at KINOSAITO with the support of NYSCA.

This performance was a part of KINOSAITO’s 5-Year Anniversary Celebration.
