STRATA
STRATA is a multi-sensory performance, a collective lucid dream, an urgent embodied call to slow down and experience our (be)longing. In this elemental and surrealist myth of recreation, the artists quite literally attempt to reassemble a massive earth body. Inside the matrix of self-abandonment, violence, and ecological catastrophe, can this communal excavation reveal an alternate path towards somatic and interdependent possibility?
