Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti & Frank Rosaly: Amaranthine

Performer Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti and Chicago drummer Frank Rosaly will be presenting their new duo project featuring Ibelisse’s masterful spinning technique, derived from her studies of sufi dervish practice. Rosaly creates cyclical percussion patterns that weave within Ibelisse's perpetual spinning. The performers infiltrate a space with continual rhythm and motion, allowing repetition to be their point of convergence.

From Rumi the sufi mysticus: A secret turning in us makes the universe turn. Head unaware of feet, and feet head. Neither cares. They keep turning.
