The performance, 'Ascendants of the Future,' takes place every Thursday in June
Sonia Flores is one of Houston’s most beloved avant-garde improvisational musicians, having crafted bizarre and delightful events behind her imposing double bass for 17 years. Her latest creation is a combination of macrame and music set in the far reaches of outer space with a little help from the Orange Show’s newly acquired warehouse.
These shows will take place within a series of macrame panels, some as long as 10 feet, that Flores has woven from bits of sticks found on her hikes and tulle to give it a celestial vibe. She drew visual inspiration from pictures of nebulas, giant clouds of dust and gas in space that form striking, chaotic shapes.
“My mother didn’t migrate,” says Flores. “Her family had been in Texas for generations. She spoke another language that she never taught us. I don’t know my own past. That’s why I wanted to put my musicians in a celestial portal. So much of what I put in music is about outer space, being out of place but still belonging. You lose your way when you don’t know your history. I do not know mine, but I am here in the future.
“Everyone has their own cultural music, but when you’re missing your history, what is your song?” she says. “I am asking the universe.”
