MOMMA i RODE THE BEAST! takes the idea of Chaos Force and situates it into the architecture and beings, to physically, mentally, and emotionally wrestle with its potential consequences and potentiality. Other modalities they explore in their practice are urban mythology, esoteric knowledge, artifacts of memory, blackness as creative destruction, the undeaddead, channeling, and video/film documenta. Using the structures Deal is developing through Chaos Force as a methodology, the performance is both scored and improvised, producing the potential for different emotional, spiritual, and physical encounters between themself and the material–as well as with the unseen presences at a given site.

Violence is also a central question within the work–investigating its capabilities and regenerative deconstructionism, along with its harmful and dispossessive qualities when applied toward poetics of relations & differences and the areas inbetween, mostly between State violence and liberatory resistance towards it. The Mother in the work acts not just as motherhood and specifically my mother, but Primordial Mother and the memories, histories, blood and genocide She (the earth) holds from colonial and state violence. There are eruptions of eroticism and excessive love that are uncomfortably weaved within and alongside aggressive violent & gorey acts throughout the performance–dancing and making love to the Bull (a friend, an enemy, a lover); a birth (or multiple births) that is followed by the devouring of a baby; and the multiple deaths that is witnessed and taken place of the performer themselves. I am interested in the relationship we have with violence to understand the ways it is used to dispossess and oppress communities and when it is used to deconstruct already violent structures and systems protecting the active violences of the oppressor/state. Also in the ways harm shows up in interpersonal relationships vs the way pain can be something sexy and pleasureable when it is intentionally and carefully engaged with.
