FADE

The performance Fade takes its title from the song by Lewis Capaldi, that engulfs feelings of loss, longing, sadness and grief. The performers depict a relationship between two childhood friends who have grown apart over time. While going through the motions and trying to decide whether to step away or power through, both are brought back to their childhood memories. They are reminiscing about their sleepovers where they would build forts and have pillow fights. The material they are clinging to represents hope and love and the power of nostalgia. When at a crossroads one is unsure whether to clutch onto it or simply let it go.
