Becomyth – We Begin In Chaos – Night 3: Book of Evocation
July 27, 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Night 3 | The Book of Evocation
The final installment enters the dreamworld of a young child on the edge of understanding. Through the lens of two reimagined Chinese creation myths, The Book of Evocation explores the vulnerability, wonder, and failure that often accompany the creative act. As worlds flicker into form and fall apart again, the performance evokes the deep inner work of becoming—and the courage it takes to begin, again
ABOUT THE SERIES
Becomyth: We Begin in Chaos is a performance art project created by Adam J. N. Keene and Langston Kelly that delves into the nature of beginnings—why they challenge us, why they matter, and what transformation takes place in the act of starting anew. Drawing from global creation myths—some of the oldest maps we have for navigating the unknown—Becomyth investigates “chaotic beginnings” as a form of mythological sensemaking: a tool for navigating uncertainty, transformation, and potential.
Blending music, myth, and theatrical storytelling, Keene and Kelly invite audiences on a cosmic journey where ancient stories are reborn and new myths take root. Each evening in the three-part series presents original performances inspired by global creation stories—fusing dreamlike worlds with powerful archetypes to ask: What does it mean to begin? And who do we become in the process?
