Exploring the theme of animism, GEIST articulates and subverts the relationship between the realms of living and dead matter, physicality and consciousness. Oscillating between states of resisting stasis and arresting movement, past-present to present-future, the performers shift in and out of control in the construction and pursuit of being.
The choreography in GEIST is underpinned by notions of ritual and repetition, the bodies trapped in-between contained stasis and ecstatic motion are engaged both individually and collectively in a search for the spirit of action.
