Symara Sarai: Angelic Architectures

April 17–25, 2026

Angelic Architectures is a powerful dance play, developed by Symara Sarai during their Abrons Performance AIRspace residency, that showcases the inner anarchy of Black queer femininity. Featuring three dancers and a musician, the show blends movement, sound, and improvisational scores to explore desire, autonomy, and one’s full range of emotion.

Angelic Architectures features Kentoria Earle, Kashia Kancey, CHIMI, and Symara Sarai.

Please note: there will be no late seating
