BLACK AESTHETICS: DARK OXYGEN
dArK oXyGen is a sonic dance exploring the spiritual connection between Blackness as a space of breathlessness and the recent discovery of oxygen production in the deep ocean without sunlight or photosynthesis. The public is invited into a dance installation that conjures breathlessness as spiritual awakening. Can we catch our breath and catch the spirit collectively in these trying times? Movement into shadows that speak and ghosts that dance fill the air. The ocean is the lungs of the earth. What would happen if the ocean couldn't breathe? What happens when the ocean whispers my ancestors names?
