Indivisibility
Indivisibility (rehearsal excerpts) from Gabrielle Revlock on Vimeo.
An intimate duet that begins with one man and one woman and transforms into a piece dominated by two objects: a viola and a hula hoop. The woman manipulates the hoop yet at times appears to be controlled by it. As the performers drift apart, the piece conjures images of loneliness, entrapment, and surrender.
Performers: Gabrielle Revlock & Jacob Mitas
