A dance duet that explores the tension between decay and transformation—where the body meets disintegrating materials through acts of touch, labor, and experimentation. Working with discarded substances such as eggshells, the piece investigates what new forms can emerge through pressure, heat, and attention. By animating overlooked materials including an aging female-identified human body, the work challenges fixed ideas of being and utility, proposing humanness as a permeable state—fragile, reforming, and ongoing.
