PINCH

Sacha Vega’s experimental dance-theatre work PINCH will make its New York premiere with 3AM Theatre in Astoria on December 12 and 13. A boundary-pushing piece that blurs the line between preparedness and chaos, PINCH debuted in Fall 2024 at the Philly Fringe x Cannonball Festival through their Co-Presentation model. Vega is excited to bring this visceral work to New York audiences for the first time in collaboration with 3AM Theatre. PINCH is a surreal collision of dance-theater and emergency ritual. Swerving through the American Psyche™, a trio of characters encounter myths of preparedness. At each turn, they keep asking, breaking, cracking: Who taught you to move safely?  Drawing from safety drills staged in corporate, educational, and governmental settings, the trio stretches, subverts, and re-stages the mechanics of control.
