Jen Rosenblit:
I'm Gonna Need Another One
I'm Gonna Need Another One
In a theatrical monologue, Jen Rosenblit troubles home as a place of origin and the authentic, singular self. She stands in as multiple real and mythological figures to address a counterpart who is hard to grasp. She ploughs a land, which slowly falls apart, with objects in flux. Things are present. Things disappear. Floating scenes unfold and within them meaning might unfold as well – or it might not. An invitation to let go of the illusion of stability.

Jen Rosenblit makes performances based in Berlin after many years in New York City, surrounding architectures, bodies, text and ideas concerned with problems that arise inside of agendas for togetherness. Rosenblit’s works lean toward the uncanny, locating ways of being together amidst (un) familiar and impossible contradictions. The methodology supports an expanse of meaning as it emerges between things and moves toward an unwinding and a possible collapse. Desire and sexuality linger as reoccurring points of departure without demanding a singular aesthetic or representation. Rosenblit is a 2018 Guggenheim Fellow, a recipient of a 2014 New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award, a 2023 La Becque (Vevey, CH) artist in residence and has collaborated with artists including Simone Aughterlony, Miguel Gutierrez, A.K.Burns and Philipp Gehmacher. www.jenrosenblit.net
