Becomyth - We Begin In Chaos - Night 2: Book of Convocation
2025-07-20 18:30 - 21:30 | Story Parlor, 227 Haywood Road, Asheville, 28806
Night 2 | The Book of Convocation
The second performance draws the audience into a mythic gathering—a convocation of old and new stories in conversation with one another. Here, elemental forces clash and yield, and from their tension, new worlds take shape. The Book of Convocation invites participants to step inside this mythic conversation—where the act of witnessing becomes an act of creation, and the fate of the story hangs in the balance.
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?
