lossy
lossy is about an inability to take it all with us. The performers are bodies at a loss, grasping for an anchor, and haunted by the ghostly traces of lost futures. Shifting between bursts of intense fragmented movement and moments of stillness, driven by the pulsating score, they capture the essence of our uncertain times. This compelling work represents a warped ritual of transcendence – a carefree conjuring of a shiny new future ‘us’, and a grieving for what the future may no longer hold, once we finally arrive.
