Vanishing 2.0

Wed, Aug 6th @ 7PM

Simply, through inviting anyone to make a meal that might or might not taste like home to ourselves, Vanishing 2.0 is an hour-long performance, an interactive experiment, and an ever-growing story that examines longing in the diaspora experience.

Inspired in part by the repetitive patterns of our everyday rituals, the piece draws on the expansive psychological arc attached to our physical actions, the narrative potential everyday objects contain, and the process of actively grasping the sense of existence through creating, making, and imagining.

When the strangeness of the present begins to swallow the self once anchored in memory, or when the disorientation becomes coils tight around the body, thought, speech—what does it mean to live within—or beyond—the entanglement of vanishing and being trapped?
