In W3T DR3AMS, four performers dive into the murky streams of being together - as leaky and entangled bodies of water, living on an aqueous planet. Drawing on hydro-feminism (Astreida Neimanis) and pleasure activism (adrienne maree brown), they explore the liminal spaces between fluidity and friction, care and control, rethinking embodiment and interdependence. How can we (re)connect to our bodies and each other within systems that are built to divide? What if pleasure and joy are necessary for change? In a dystopian world shaped by racial capitalism, W3T DR3AMS offers a space to embrace our deep longings - to grieve, to laugh, to love and to imagine otherwise.
