Against Being
A dance about nothing — an exploration of space — the space between language and dance. They say a language dies every 14 days. You don’t know our language, but we know yours. In our language, we have no word for “Being” — no word for “Truth” — no word for “Essence” — we don’t need these words! How could one live without them?
Directed by Adam Rose.
Performed by Eryka Dellenbach, Brooke Underwood, Adam Rose, and more to be announced.
