SUMMARY:Unit Souzou: Constant State of Otherness
DESCRIPTION:Constant State of Otherness is a multi-layered performance exploring the impacts of the universal experiences of othering and alienation. Through taiko\, Japanese folk dance\, song\, and personal story\, six performers guide the audience through a four-part journey inspired by experiences of isolation and displacement that come from not having an easy sense of home. \nRooted in ancestral wisdom and survival\, Constant State of Otherness resists simplistic translations of language\, cultural ways\, and the complicated emotions that otherness evokes. By allowing their stories to fractally unfold through the resonance of drum\, voice\, and movement\, Unit Souzou offers an invitation to locate our shared longing to belong.

Come experience tales woven by one of Mexico’s most prominent storytellers who is the “joyous embodiment of the stories she tells.” (Loren Niemi\, storyteller and author)
