Membra Jesu nostri: a sung devotion

ANIMA & Baseline Press present a performance & chapbook launch in celebration of Pride.

Sunday, 25 June 2023 | 7 – 9 pm | 10C Shared Space, 4th floor (42 Carden Street, Guelph)

Featuring:

Luke Hathaway, spoken word

Daniel Cabena, countertenor & violin

Chris Fischer, tenor

Paul Genyk-Berezowsky, baritone

Judith Souman, violin

Our Membra Jesu nostri is a queer and trans-y reenactment of the devotional rhythms of this beautiful Medieval hymn, as set to music by Dietrich Buxtehude in 1680.

A work of spiritual reclamation and erotic celebration, this work also celebrates the quotidian rhythms of caregiving, and acknowledges the agony of grief.

With new words by Luke Hathaway and an afterword by Daniel Cabena.

Printed and published by Karen Schindler, Baseline Press.
