We Love Our Parents, We Fear Snakes was created by Johanna Breiding as an intimate gathering space — foyer/drawing room/death room/living room — for queer-identified performers to explore traditionally familial spaces and experiences of mourning.  The project was part of Women’s Center for Creative Work’s Parlor at the Armory residency program and culminated with a sound and movement performance by Marbles Jumbo Radio and Yann Novak.
