through warm temperatures (60mins)

through warm temperatures affirms castor oil's legacy as a natural remedy, an elixir, and a historic source that transcends boundaries. This performance takes the audience on a journey of reconnection—with nature and the body.

Blending vocals and dance, the work shifts from meditative to unfiltered expression. Roars and vocal purges confront inner turmoil, embodying a journey toward self-acceptance. Live cello and electronic soundscapes intertwine as performers shift between solos, duos, and collective movements, drawing the audience into intimate experiences.

The work builds toward a place of warmth, inviting release, renewal.
