Impossible Crush: It's Elf Itself
Zack Fuller
LEIMAY PRESENTING SERIES SUMMER/FALL 2024: OUTSIGHT
Impossible Crush is an art punk band playing original songs written by experimental dancer/choreographer Zack Fuller, in collaboration with self-taught keyboard player and singer Kira Flores. Their songs describe the experiences of elves, fairies, and other elemental beings, as metaphors for queer experience. Their performances incorporate dance, spoken word and visual display, influenced by and hearkening back to the proto punk experiences of the 60’s and 70’s.

OUTSIGHT is a performance series presented by LEIMAY in partnership with the New York Restoration Project. It features public performances by international and local artists working within areas of dance, theater, performance art, experimental music, and butoh. Most OUTSIGHT artists have been part of the LEIMAY Incubator Program which provides them with process-focused resources. The performances are set within one of NYRP’s community gardens.
OUTSIGHT is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and the Mertz Gilmore Foundation
