The work explores points along a continuum of beauty and the grotesque. The process began by asking if the overwhelming emotion of Opera music could be matched and explored through extreme sustained movements and at what point does heightened emotion tip over the edge from expression, to absurdity, and even into comedy? The dance also serves to ask and answer the questions: what supports us? What uplifts us? And what holds us back?
