Be(ings) is an immersive, meditative, spectacle where "life" takes unexpected forms. We invite the audience to encounter other-worldly life and watch dynamic landscapes develop in real-time. In this interdisciplinary performance, simple materials and the human body are transformed through live video manipulation, puppetry, and layered soundscapes. At its heart, Be(ings) is about perception, empathy, and examining the uniqueness of life-forms large and small, known and imagined.
