World Premiere

Oct 29, 2026: Fusebox Salon | Gesel Mason, Marjani Forté-Saunders, + Everett Saunders

Fusebox Salons are an invitation into the creative process—part performance, part conversation, and a chance to see remarkable artists as their work comes to life.

For this Salon, choreographer, performer, and artist-scholar Gesel Mason joins choreographer and performer Marjani Forté-Saunders and composer and sound designer Everett Saunders for an intimate exploration of movement, sound, memory, and creative practice.

Together, they’ll share works in progress, creative questions, and the discoveries that emerge through experimentation and collaboration. Drawing from practices rooted in embodied knowledge, cultural lineage, archival memory, music, and radical imagination, the artists invite audiences into the space between an idea and its becoming.

Nov. 6-7, 2026: Motherhood | Suzanne Bocanegra

World Premiere

Motherhood is the fifth in a series of works by Suzanne Bocanegra that transforms the mundane artist lecture format into an unexpected theatrical experience that combines elements of personal memoir with cultural and historic analysis, touching on everything from foundling homes to feminism, party planning, and nuns. Performed with actor Judah Lang, Motherhood is a rich and moving examination of how society values, or undervalues, the work of raising children and our understanding of this elemental human experience.

Dec. 11-13, 2026: VOLUMES | Ezra Masch

VOLUMES is an immersive audio-visual installation and performance series created by multi-disciplinary artist Ezra Masch. The ongoing project uses live sound from musical instruments to activate site-specific lighting environments in performance spaces across the US and abroad. In each setting, local musicians and composers are invited to explore the connection between sound, light, and space. The audio-visual interaction influences each performer’s creative process, while impacting the audience’s perception of sound and image.  A 3-day series will feature collaborations with over (10) different Austin-based artists, to be announced soon.

Previous iterations featured performances by local legends including Alton Jenkins (F#CK MONEY), Lunar RAE (Blk Odyssey), Toto Miranda (Octopus Project), and Thor Harris (Thor & Friends).

Jan. 28-30, 2027: Le Paradoxe de John | Philippe Quesne

Texas Premiere

French theater-maker Philippe Quesne’s work occupies the tender space between humor and melancholy. As a sequel to his beloved play L’Effet de Serge (Out There 2011), Le Paradoxe de John (John’s Paradox) examines the role of art and community in everyday life. The piece follows a group of friends whose attempt to build an art gallery leads to a strange series of experiments. There is insulation-foam headwear, a prolonged exchange with linoleum flooring, and an oddly serene sense of dissociation. Accompanied by writer Laura Vazquez’s poetry across several digital ticker displays, Quesne demonstrates the quiet power of small creative acts.

Math Playground | Jiabao Li + Fumiko Futamura

Math Playground: Play with Math is an interactive, outdoor installation designed to transform abstract mathematical models and math thinking into engaging, larger-than-human playground equipment. Math is often perceived as difficult, abstract, or boring. Math playground makes math tangible, fun, and physically engaging. Visitors of all ages are invited to “play on the math”—climbing, sliding, swinging, and spinning on structures whose forms and mechanisms embody complex mathematical principles. Form follows function. The structure and the way people interact with it reveal the underlying math.
