FALLING OUT
DESCRIPTION
Endlessly inventive theater artists Jessica Grindstaff and Erik Sanko offer an emotional call to climate action. Inspired by the catastrophic 2011 tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster, this rippling meditation on water, heartbreak, and toxic fallout fuses contemporary flex dance and Japanese butoh tradition with Phantom Limb’s singular style of puppet theater. Created in collaboration with Dai Matsuoka of the transportive dance troupe Sankai Juku, Falling Out weaves music, movement, and design into a haunting tapestry of collective collapse and renewal.

The Memory Telephone is a freestanding structure. It consists of 3 towers of box fans (each 4 fans tall), a podium or pedestal holding a telephone with audio recording mechanism embedded inside, and sheets of crinoline/tulle billowing over the entire structure to enclose the ‘telephone’. Sound can be piped into the room via house speakers. There is a video component projected on the tulle that can be as technical or basic as the presenter deems necessary.
