Mouthwater Festival: Grow Green Man Performance

Oct 5 2024

6–11 pm

Olympic Sculpture Park

PACCAR Pavilion

Grow Green Man is a performance party from Saira Barbaric. Come out for an evening of sensual, playful, confronting work from a bevy of PNW favorites and new-to-us powerhouses.

In deference to the powers of the woods—from the maenads to the green knight to Gran Bwa—the performers in Grow Green Man touch on the unruly nature of the wilderness to seed, build, and dance with creatures real and unreal.

Come early to hear DJs, enjoy refreshments, and experience works from Barbaric’s 2022 show, Pantheon Anew. Sunset will set off a series of performances including circus, burlesque, installation art, and interactive acts from a lineup of Black Disabled artists including Saira Barbaric. The night will wrap up with more dancing and drinks.

The audience will be invited to play, respond, move, and relax throughout an evening of investigation and catharsis.

Tickets for the Grow Green Man Performance will be available for purchase onsite and offered at a sliding scale.
