Drift
Drift journeys from the final hours of the Anthropocene into deep time, where the human form has dissolved into the backdrop of a landscape scarred by its own existence. Five dancers move through an ecology where humanity has become sediment, and time and space are no longer defined by human agency. In this liminal world, bodies drift in eternal flux.
