Second Skin: MONSTER,” is an LIVE exploration of actualizing the self. The performance roots its audience in the concept of image, perception, the butterfly effect, mirroring, generating and world-building. MONSTER deconstructs unwarranted trauma by creating ancestral pivots within space by utilizing a series of task-based movements, choreographies, and space-oriented ritual. Working with physical theater, testimony, sound, light, and space, we manifest versions of ourselves that may exist across infinity- as autonomous beings.
