Description

Habitat is a multidisciplinary solo inspired by the life cycle of hermit crabs; a metaphor about my process of emigration to Canada. Hermit crabs don't have a shell, instead they house themselves in objects according to their size. As they grow, their object becomes limiting and uncomfortable, so they migrate new ones. This multidisciplinary piece combines movement, voice with live electronics, a paper sculpture Hermes (600 articulable paper cones), and lighting. This show has been programmed by Dance Base in collaboration with Assembly.

Absolutely stunning. Fascinating, disturbing and oddly life-affirming in turns, Habitat is unique marriage of dance, audio art and sculpture that should not be missed.

Not only is it handmade with human skill, but it speaks to human concerns and finds a monstrous and utterly magnetic way to voice them.
