Assemblage is a multidisciplinary, multimedia work featuring chamber and electronic music by Houston composer Chris Becker, choreographed and improvised movement by New York-based director Rachel Cohen, and real-time collage-making using zip-loc bags of curated-but-unfinished materials left behind by Cohen’s late mother. 

Through intimate videos and live performance, Assemblage explores impermanence, ancestry, and artist identity, and the human effort to fit the pieces together.
