Black Joy: An Ancestral Journey to Liberation
“Black Joy is a multi-disciplinary journey through the Blackness. Fusing aerial, projections, dance, ritual, and mask work, Twin Eclipse weaves together their stories as people of African descent and the journey taken to be where they are today. Black Joy celebrates and honor those who have come before us, are here today, and those who we have yet to see."

Features
Twin Eclipse, NYC’S Premiere Black Aerialist Duo, is Queen Ravenden (She/her) & Jon Joni (He/they). Joni was born and raised in North Carolina, while Queen grew up between Baltimore, MD and St. Croix. Since forming in 2015, they have performed with artists such as Denzel Curry, Kacey Musgraves,and Nitty Scott. They are House of Yes Resident Performers & Aerialists with a background in caribbean, african, modern, contemporary, ballet,and hip-hop dance.
Twin Eclipse creates circus pieces that clearly represent their love for African culture, Black culture, and the resilience of African and Indigenous people here in the USA. The artwork revolves around ancestral celebration and cultural struggles with the goal of providing healing to the past traumas of these cultures while presenting them to a wider audience in a way that is both visually inspiring and full of historical context that is more easily digestible. Twin Eclipse creates art for those who have died as a way of carrying on their stories. Their melanated bodies represent the bodies that have been oppressed, abused, and somehow rose above it all ( literally doing aerial and figuratively). Queen Ravenden and Jon Joni stand on the shoulders of the ancestors who have come before us and as a beacon of light for generations to come.
