SOUP – Headonbody

Soup is a kinetic shrine to a lost parent and an absurd meditation on the process of grief. It exists inside a fey mirror world built out of vegetables, polysterene heads, the kitchen table and inhabited by a sinuous doppelgänger. Performed with mutant physicality, it is simultaneously brutish, sensual, ridiculous and vulnerable. It see-saws between hilarious and harrowing as it reaches for a shared state of catharsis with the audience.

A post show discussion follows the performance.
