A wild and circuitous exploration of the body, this intimate performance uses pervasive media and a diverse cast of dolls to consider what it is to be alive and human. Two charismatic performers, live sound and video design animate a series of compelling, communal interactions. Seated in a small group in the transformed Pit, the experience can only begin when you have all attached your heart rate monitors.
