Choreography & performance: William Ruiz Morales and Gabriela Burdsall. Music by Nina Fukuoka. Installation created with Daniela Friedman. Costume design by Odie Senesh.

It honors found objects and the act of scavenging with poetry emerging from the tension and movement between these objects and human presence.
