Accumulation, a one-time international performance project by Co.ERASGA co-presented by Dance Forum will have its Manila premiere this February. In collaboration with participating artists from the United States (New York), Canada and France, Accumulation incorporates body, dance, movement, sound, costumes, sculpture and visual objects for this unique live performance event.
This timely and creative production aims to fuse a hybrid of multiple disciplines to create a new performance perspective and experience. The piece seeks to question our human relational, place, and time on environmental concerns presently faced by an alarming future never witnessed before in our natural world.
Accumulation sets human-made objects, debris and nature’s remnants to represent our surroundings, an encounter of our human consumption and excess. Centre stage is the deterioration of the natural world, a landscape for a hunting, moving dance and sculptural choreography.
Accumulation is a one-time international performance project which will take place on February 13, 2025, Thursday, at 7:30 pm at the Dance Forum Studio at West Ave., Quezon City. Limited seats available! For tickets, contact Kurt Copon via Viber/WhatsApp at (+63) 995 437 5178 or Register via Google Form here: https://forms.gle/bW7pSGtSNHBs4PZk
