In Machine Room Door four dancers with a shared drive towards heightened physicality, explore the edges of what the container of the performance environment can hold.
The dancers create and diffuse the performative space of the venue, navigating between material, structural relationships to the body, and imaginative environments and states. Through physical investigation of precarity, safety, and effort, the desires underlying these systems emerge.
