MycoMorphosis: Saturday Performance

About This Event

MycoMorphosis: Dancing with Fungi brings living mushrooms to life through Japanese Butoh dance at Dairy Arts Center on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 7:30 PM. Directed by choreographer Iván-Daniel Espinosa, this mind-bending multimedia performance transforms fungi into musicians—bio-sensors convert mycelium’s electrical activity into live soundscapes while dancers move through a maze-like sculpture featuring fruiting mushroom colonies. Christopher Bryant Arnett composes electroacoustic music in real-time as dancers Stefan Bach, Corin Wiggins, Kenji Hirose, and Arlo Sage King perform slow-movement Butoh choreography inspired by fungal networks. This immersive interspecies performance dissolves boundaries between human and non-human worlds. Espinosa, a CU Boulder PhD candidate studying performance and mycology, has presented this acclaimed work at La MaMa NYC and Seattle International Butoh Festival.
