A boundary-defying collaboration with cancer researchers that explores the aggressive complexities of glioblastoma through dance, science, and human connection. Fusing the cutting-edge biomedical work of David Odde and Paolo Provenzano with Carl Flink’s visceral choreography, this performance asks how “the rules of life” of a cancer tumor can help inform better understanding across biology, human relationships, and society.
Immersing audiences in a crossover between scientific research, theatricality, and everyday humanity, each performance will situate audiences in different seating “pods” that allow for the performance to unfold as if mimicking the movement of veins. Audiences will be guided to enter the theater in groups to then find a seat in their respective pod.
No late seating. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.
The performance will last approximately 45 minutes with no intermission and will be followed by a discussion with the scientists, artists, and movers involved.
