Two dances (Ditch-work & Meet Me in the Morning) with a bridge.

Mountain Shouting is an evening of dances made in Virginia, North Carolina and Hong Kong.

Unfolding within a designated ceremonial arena, part boxing ring and part Church altar, the
night is an ancestral revival and a rehearsal for death. A journey through epic memory, four people explore a transforming imaginary landscape. Playfully teetering on the edge of narrative, each dance looks in distinct ways at the sensuous aspects of distance and dislocation-- the impossibility of foreign words in the mouth, the body as it is desperate and uncomfortable, the sticky shadowiness of memory space.
