Shatter explores the splintered lives of five people, stuck in their own half-realities. Trying to find ways to come to the surface, they attempt to break free from their own shells, only to fall further into themselves. Paint, video, movement, and sound are all used as tools for their language as they journey to each other in the fog of crisis. Upon reunion, they find resolution and continue on together. Shatter is a piece about dissociation during a time of isolation and the power of community during struggle. Directly inspired by the events of the past two years, Shatter puts an abstract lens on mental health during the pandemic, exploring the emotional and physical boundaries that forced many of us to reflect on the vital importance of community and support.
We shatter and bits of ourselves are scattered on the floor. We look to pick up the pieces, only to find that we cannot alone. The edges are sharp, and our perception, limited. Only after finding each other do we re-create versions of ourselves, like a puzzle putting pieces back in different places, but just as a whole. And with that, we settle into a state that is not finalized, but for now, sufficient. We shatter the expectation. We continue on.
A live stream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing.
