Seating, in this show, shapes content. The audience sits in a circle, on stools, cushions or chairs scattered in the midst of trees, water and bird sounds. Performers weave around us. Light falls in the same dramatic columns as the sun might beam through the gaps in a lush, remote rainforest.
This avant-garde work might be a sound and light installation immersing us in the wonders of Colombia’s Amazon forest. Or an anthropological display on the rituals of its indigenous people. It could equally be activist art about environmental destruction from copper mining, or it might be a meditation on climate, community and nature with its ritualistic pace, led primarily by song and sound.
