MASS is a dance performance exploring the thematics of mass as a place of empowerment. Inspired by landslides and ants this living mass is ever-shaping. Our bodies morph into non-human ones as we imagine other kinds of anatomies to construct us. Through insisting on this transformation the piece proposes a decentralization of the human experience. MASS offers glimpses into landscapes of micro and macro scale.
