Clouds from a Crumbling Giant: our wild shining days, breathes in the spaces of time between human incarnations. Broken yet boundless bodies enter the waiting room of the afterlife. As they re-enact their corporeal memories, consciousness folds in upon itself. Janitors tidy up. The band strikes up a tune.
inkBoat, founded in 1998, continually invites in the collaborative voices of artists who meet in uncertain territories. The company brings together disperate backgrounds in Noh Theater, Coporeal Mime, Butoh Dance, Physical Theater, and unconventional orchestrations involving acoustic instruments, sound design and nostalgic wonderment.
