A performance that grips the five senses: 70 tightly packed minutes capture a weathering world in flux.
Premiering in New York in 2023 to critical acclaim, “Weathering” is a performance with no dialogue that enacts a tableau vivant on stage. The piece is akin to a flesh sculpture created by the bodies of the ten performers along with sounds, scents, liquids, and objects.
As suggested by the title’s double entendre of “weathering” and “weather,” the work is spellbinding—at times finding themselves perplexed by their own perceptions as they sense the ways in which our presence weathers on this earth.
Driscoll is a New York / Los Angeles-based artist who makes work with bodies, voices, objects, and live sound to explore how the world, like people, has a life of its own that forever continues to change. Praised in the media as “a startlingly original talent” and a “post-millennium postmodern wild woman” , Driscoll comes to Japan for the first time with this program.
