This ritual is not an accident
photo credit (all): Yuula Benivolsk
In This ritual is not an accident, time and scale are recalibrated as personal histories are shredded, recomposed, and the slow-motion accident of climate change becomes intimate. Women undergo surgery, first passive, then actively involved in their own operations.

How does climate change, a vastly distributed emergency, live in the nervous system? What is it about the slow-motion accident that can escape our defense responses?

Created for small audiences, this performance becomes an emergent text, windstorm, and choir; a contemporary ritual to reset nervous systems collectively.
