Seismology

Seismology

Seismology 

Seismology is an inquiry into embodied experiences of environmental decline suspended in our attempts to just keep going, at any cost, in spaces of miscommunication, mis-translation and false narratives. Memory loss, melting, fault lines, seismic waves and little earthquakes are rendered through the bodies of the dancers as the theatrical space is deconstructed and the audience’s relationship to the performance is continually re-contextualized.
