FREE-FALL is a slightly clumsy choreographic performance in decline. Via movement and text, the act of falling is analyzed as a cultural, political, and historical phenomenon, and leads us through stories about clowns, walls, love, and the Bible. A fall can refer to a loss of control, anti-success, and falling for someone or something. Falling can be considered taboo, flawed, and devastating, but is also an expression of courage and vigor.
