LATE MATTER/ 2024

Performance

Set in a scorching red cicada filled world, Late Matter is a tapestry of coalescing tableaus exploring the paradoxical relationship between desire and annihilation. Investigating hedonism, the show is an experimental physical theatre that concludes with a rave as an integral final component of the work which blurs the separation between audience and performance. The main thesis in Late Matter researches the idea of desire as an annihilation of the self. We are using the analogy of the fruit of knowledge and the primal desire that it inspired which brought about the fall from eden. Our capacity for destruction revealed our mortalities and in this work we are conceptually transforming our bodies into a weapon against time.
