As color slips into darkness, we revive the archaic and press it up against the contemporary. We construct a gathering which will house an ecstatic world, one which looks sideways through time: simultaneously into the past and future. Through densely layered rhythms of dance and music seen through flickering light, the audience is invited to circle around a ritual scene, one that proposes alternate forms of relationality, participation, and co-creation.
The question that underpins this work is: How to exit? How can we disavow our current societal framework that requires participation within violent frames of conformity and inequality, predicated on exploitation and extraction? How can life be more than this?
