Synopsis:
Under capitalism, the repetition of catastrophe is not an exception but an inevitability. While each catastrophe may appear as an isolated event, its recurrence reveals deeper structural conditions. This original dance-theatre work explores the cyclical nature of catastrophe and our collective struggles to endure, confront, and move through it.
