In Intimacy for the Apocalypse, an unstable structure made of rope, slime, wooden levers, buckets, and streamers shifts over time as four dancers and a sound composer develop emergent, co-constituted logics to find stability and support within their material conditions. As the performers engage in gestural looping, tuning scores, and task-based scenarios, they develop new relational practices for embodied logics of survival. Intimacy for the Apocalypse investigates how bodies and environments can be reoriented out of collapse, giving way to intra- dependent speculative futures. It stages a world where bodies refuse categorization, shifting between discipline and defiance, chaos and clarity, desire and tension.
