Post-invasion is a different place.
A new performance created for exactly this critical moment. A small group of hold-outs or castoffs discover themselves living dead in an oppressive necroland where our history is both a danger and an opportunity to remake the world. Exploring roots of resistance, resilience, and fragility, this original site performance event takes place in a former glue warehouse amid the corrosive debris of an invasive autocracy.
Watch out: anybody could do anything!
Take heart: anybody could do anything!
Audiences should be prepared for a little adventure into the unknown. This performance takes place in a non-theatrical space and audience space is strictly limited to 30 people. The performance site is in a working warehouse that is not pristine or designed for comfort. That said, it is a secure location and ADA accessible, with restrooms, water fountain, and on-street parking available. While the audience will be occupying the space with the performance, there is no audience participation required or expected.
Inhuman Cast
Akiko is a visual artist, performance artist, teaching artist, curator, and activist based in Minneapolis. A native of Osaka, Japan, her multidisciplinary storytelling practice centers voices too often marginalized by white Eurocentric society. She integrates poetry, music, dance, collage, and puppetry to reflect the times we live in and the power of community. As a teaching artist, Akiko works with youth to affirm the importance of their voices, using art as a vehicle for truth-telling and connection. She also curates events to uplift emerging artists and advocates for access to creative practices—such as poetry, puppetry, and collage—for all.

In the Twin Cities she has performed in works by Laura Holway, Movement Architecture, Sandy Silva, April Sellers and others. She is a member of Dance Rec Pickup League.

Inhuman Crew
Charles Campbell (director)
Zoe Cinel (photographer) is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and educator from Italy based between Italy and Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota), the homeland of the Dakota people, home of the Anishinaabe people, and Indigenous people from other Native nations. Through art, she builds community around human experiences that are isolating and complex to navigate. Starting from her personal journey as an O1B immigrant and a chronically ill artist, she works collaboratively to produce social change.
She has received notable awards, including a 2024 - 2025 MCAD Jerome Fellowship, a 2026-2027 and a 2023-2024 University of Minnesota Liberal Arts Hub Residency, an MRAC Arts Impact for Individual Grant, a residency with Second Shift Studio (2022-2023), and more. Her artistic and curatorial work has been exhibited at institutions such the Walker Art Center, Mana Contemporary Chicago, the Rochester Art Center, the Gordon Parks Gallery, among others.
Heidi Eckwall (lighting) is a lighting designer whose work in dance, theater and performance spans several decades. She has toured with Nora Chipaumire, Urban Bush Women, Rosy Simas, Emily Johnson, BodyCartography Project and Hijack, and she teaches Lighting Design at Colorado College. Heidi has worked with Charles for years and years.
Mike Hallenbeck (sound) is a disgrace. Skewed Visions must be pretty hard up to have worked with this low-IQ sound designer and composer on not only this joke of a production, but also 2019's Birds of the Future and the 2022 woke-agenda podcast Impossible Performances in between. Not sure what Minneapolis College of Art and Design was thinking hiring Hallenbeck to teach Intro to Sound. matt regan should have his head examined for playing bass in Hallenbeck's low-energy band 10 Items or Fewer, who just released the single Life Sentence Fragment though you wouldn't know if from how little anyone cares. Find out the sad truth about Hallenbeck's failed studio at coolcataudio.com. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Jess Kiel-Wornson (installation) is, among other things, an interdisciplinary artist. Grounded and rescued by feminist and performance theories, she considers the everyday stuff of our lives: the regular, low-brow, foolish, and forgotten, as tools to reimagine a deeply oppressive systemic world. In visual art, performance, and text, she gathers and merges unfinished and broken pieces into webs, considering, as Audre Lorde said, how old ideas might feel in new situations. She and her artwork demand criticality and emotionality in enormous measure, as forms of essential resistance to supremacist culture. Recent collaborations include Echo: We Are Imperfect Mortal Beings (April Seller’s Dance Collective, 2025), It's Physical (Jennifer Glaws and Jagged Moves, 2024) and Mariology (Nancy Keystone and Critical Mass Performance Group, 2023). Jess is delighted by the exercise of being a trusted but unreliable narrator of her own life.
