You are invited into an imperial space overtaken by plant life, where movement, sound, and space emerge beyond human logic. In
layers of kin, performers move in kinship with moss, yarrow, clover, and oak to explore the connection between humans and the more-than-human world.
Unfolding in close proximity to the audience, the choreography emphasizes attentiveness and shared presence, allowing movement, sound, and space to shape the performance in real time. The work favours quiet accumulation over spectacle, revealing patterns of connection, resilience, and coexistence as the dancers move together across the space, creating a post-imperial ballroom utopia.
Choreographed by Angela Vitovec and co-presented and co-produced by Toronto Dance Theatre, the piece continues Vitovec’s exploration of plant consciousness and interdependence, following earlier works Sammal/Moss and Mossbelly.
