Choreography: David Shimotakahara
Music: Gustavo Aguilar


Danced to a commissioned score that soars through a textured landscape of human emotions, the work is performed in the confines of a 20' X 20' square. From full out physicality that nearly breaks through the space to tightly created movement that vibrates within the very soul of the audience.

"A rave to the finish, it brandished its
physicality like a sword...an arena where
four people defined elements of society
and never really wanted to test the
tenuous boundary around them."

- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
