Same As Sister’s This is NOT a Remount is a reenactment as tribute to the original cast of Toronto Dance Theatre’s 1981 production of David Earle’s Miserere. The piece is a meditation on the public and private selves of dancers interwoven with the enduring impact of AIDS on this community.

This is NOT a Remount was an original commission by Danielle Baskerville for The Miserere Project, co-produced by Citadel + Compagnie's Bright Nights Performing Arts Series in May of 2022. The piece was choreographed as a response to David Earle's Miserere (1981), courtesy of David Earle and Dancetheatre David Earle, and was developed during a Base Residency at Base: Experimental Arts + Space in Seattle, WA. The project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant, the Jerome Foundation, and the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the New York City Council.
