In her premiere role as Artistic Director, Paris Hurley (Degenerate Art Ensemble, Kultur Shock) brings together colalborators Ezra Dickinson (Zoe Scofield, The Maureen Whiting Company), Jamie Iacoli (iacoli & mcallister), Brian McAllister (iacoli & mcallister), Tilla Kuenzli (The Maureen Whiting Company), Amanda Moore, and Paurl Walsh (Degenerate Art Ensemble, X-Ray Press) in a visceral multimedia performance.

A girl, an airport, and the things that can happen while waiting frame this in-depth exploration of what it means to be human, highlighting the interconnectivity of nouns and the weight of perception. Original music, movement, animation and a sculptural audio/visual set encapsulate audience members within a textural world made of post-its, plastic and string. Shoes are adopted and abandoned. Imaginary kitchens are traversed.

Blurring the lines between co-existing realities, the piece pulls from universally shared experiences and sentiments, inviting participants to step into a world where people are bubbles, bags travel, and unconventional body parts take precedent.
