Contorted postures and lashing appendages permeate three bodies as they melt towards collapse. Against the backdrop of a world turned sideways, how much pressure can our flow of life withstand?
Operamoth pries open fossilised remains in a gathering of movement, wax, and sinew tethers. A tangle of holding self, holding together, and holding nothing; folding audiences into a dreamlike vista.
Meet us at the crest of growth and departure, where exaggerated forms cascade and surreal pricklings scratch our tangible world.
“a real gem…Operamoth will stay in our minds.”
