A Few Deep Breaths
A Few Deep Breaths is a poetic reflection of this moment in our shared history and a meditation on the road ahead. A 77 year old and a 7 year old find themselves together, suspended in a liminal space where they begin to understand each other.
Taking place between physical and digital worlds, A Few Deep Breaths explores human nature through a ritual process that interweaves the writings of Erik Ehn, Huntrezz Janos, Adrienne Kennedy, Haruna Lee, Chuck Mee, Robert Patrick, Christopher Rivas, and music by Starr Busby, John Dyer, Justin Hicks and Woody Pak. Featuring Agosto Machado with puppetry by Tom Lee performed by Leah Ogawa and Maria Camia.
