about the work
MOONQUAKES takes a new dive into the dream realm. The multidisciplinary work asks what stories and secrets lie in the subconscious. How do our inner worlds reflect the absurdity of our lived realities?A collection of solos and ensembles, the intimate work weaves spoken text with movement to excavate real and imagined dreams. Each performer offers a distinct way of moving, speaking, and shaping space to recount traces of their dream memories.
