Sinopse

Weathering is a multi-sensory flesh sculpture made of bodies, sounds, scents, liquids and objects. Ten people enact a glacially morphing tableau vivant on a mobile raft-like stage — a space too small to contain them. Their voices generate a score that crescendos and resonates. The symphonically active, luminously living work is a breathing, leaking, choreography of micro events within a momentum thrusting from just beyond the perceivable. How do we feel the impact of events moving through us which are so much larger? Can we slow down enough to feel the dust, hurt, howl, absence, spill, plume? — Faye Driscoll

This performance uses atmospheric elements such as vapour, water and plumes from several materials (full list here).
