Performing Arts Festival: Autumn Meteorite 2025 Tokyo

PERFORMANCE DATE + TIME TBA

In this 2023 OBIE award-winning piece, ten performers & crew enact a glacially morphing tableau vivant on a moving raft-like stage. Their voices generate a score that crescendos and resonates as they clutch, careen and cleave, in a space too small to contain them, spilling off the edges. The audience surrounds the performers, close enough to smell the sweat and feel the steam of the spiraling scenes.

Weathering attempts to reckon with life in an uncanny age when the forces that shape our lives—and our futures—feel impossible to fully perceive. Drawing inspiration from the work of philosopher Timothy Morton, Driscoll and her team of collaborators ask: How do we feel the impact of earth-shaking events moving through us? How do we get closer to the impact? Can we slow down enough to feel the dust, hurt, howl, absence, spill, plume?
