Total Beings | Burning Hearts

Total Beings | Burning Hearts is an evening-length dance work in development that stages an embodied inquiry into what it means to be whole (fully present, alive, and connected) within conditions of political instability, economic precarity, climate crisis, and social fragmentation. The project asks: How do we remain total beings when the world feels as though it is unraveling? Inspired by Bhanu Kapil’s The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers, the work is structured around a series of poetic questions related to origin, identity, loss, longing, and survival. These questions are not answered narratively, but activated through movement, voice, and relational exchange, emerging as gestures, collisions, repetitions, and disappearances that shape the choreographic landscape.
