SUN STORY: a silsila sounds show & jam
Come through to mi Centro BK in Brooklyn for
☼ SUN STORY ☼
An evening of curated live performance and collective improvisation.
The year of the Fire Horse is upon us: a time of loud sun, evident chaos, and approaching war. This show explores the power of the sun as both a literal source of energy (fusion) and a metaphor for creation, resilience, and community. Drawing on solar myths from Surya to Inti, we’re channeling our Fire Horse energy into sustained political and spiritual resistance rather than burnout. Whatever your battle is, this night is about aligning your art and energy with the long haul.
Here's a layout of the evening:
