MESH

MESH is a multimedia performance that intersects dance with interactive technology. MESH is a network of fragmented stories about individuals running against time while feeling trapped behind a mask of uncertainties. The network is threaded with experiences from friends and loved ones in those difficult times. MESH looks at our lives through those unexpected situations that test our resilience and the impermanence of our bodies. At the same time, it invites discoveries of beauty within perilous conditions. MESH invites the audience to reflect on the value of our love and lives.

MESH was made possible through the support of the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation and the CounterPulse Combustible Residency.
