REFLECT | Karen Finley: COVID Vortex Anxiety Opera Kitty Kaleidoscope Disco
With a fittingly absurd title, performance artist, poet, musician, and educator Karen Finley’s COVID Vortex Anxiety Opera Kitty Kaleidoscope Disco is a striking poetic suite that encapsulates the surreal experience of life during the pandemic. Through a whirlwind of Zoom dance parties, obsessive handwashing, bizarre rituals, coping mechanisms, grief, social upheaval, and political reckoning, Finley crafts a vivid portrait of collective anxiety and resilience. Originally performed live in New York theaters, the piece earned praise from the Village Voice, drawing comparisons to Beat icons like Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, and was named a New York Times Critic’s Pick. At its core, Finley’s work highlights the power of art, language, compassion, and humor as essential tools for survival—a poignant reminder of our shared humanity as we move forward into an uncertain future.
