Pioneer Winter has been commissioned by Arsht to create a new work titled Birds of Paradise. Directed by Winter, the dance-theater work will be enacted as a “tropical militia” of queer-identifying artists. Motivated by the forced anonymity of queer resistance, it rejects an abridged gay history that memorializes efforts to some and erases others. Birds of Paradise seeks a new mythology in order to gain control over the story and rhythm by which we march or fly.

Check out the video below if you feel you have a story to share with Winters for this piece.

Birds of Paradise premieres at the Arsht Center in September 2021.
