Faye Driscoll, Weathering | Daniels Spectrum

Details

Experience the Canadian premiere of Faye Driscoll's groundbreaking performance, Weathering, at The Blackwood in Toronto. This captivating and adventurous work pushes the boundaries of performance art, captivating audiences over four nights. Created as a moving human sculpture, Weathering combines bodies, sounds, scents, liquids, and objects to create a multi-sensory experience. Ten performers continuously transform and interact on a mobile stage, immersing the audience in their intense journey of crisis and alienation. As the performers navigate their small platform, the audience can feel the emotions, smell the sweat, and witness the scenes unfolding before them. Weathering delves into the impact of the Anthropocene, exploring the effects of environmental destruction on individual bodies and their interdependencies. Through conflict, eroticism, and care, Driscoll and her collaborators raise thought-provoking questions about our connection to the world around us. This performance demands undivided attention, providing a much-needed escape from media saturation.
