Ritual for Decompression (2024)

Decompression is the act of unwinding, releasing internal pressure to return to a primary, restful state. Inspired by the ritualistic and healing performances of Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva (The Sensing Salon) and Eroca Nichols (Truthteller, 2015), Ritual for Decompression invites select participants to listen, engage, and experience their own process of release. Guided by a meditative score, performers navigate a journey toward feeling more centered and grounded, while the audience observes this unfolding ritual. Ritual for Decompression invites you to reflect on your states of tension and rest, encouraging you to take a moment for yourself—to hold, release, and reconnect.
