A dark and moody image of 3 dancers performing outside with a red light on them

The group arrive within a space shaped by nostalgia, as though stepping into a feeling rather than a place.

The work moves through nostalgia in its shifting forms: as comfort and longing, as distortion, and as something that can unsettle, overwhelm, and evoke sickness. Memories surface, repeat, and shift, blurring the line between what is familiar and what is no longer fully known.

This piece explores nostalgia as both something we choose to visit, and something that shows up without warning.
