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.
