Leaning into the Unknown Performance Summary

Sisters Charly and Eriel Santagado present their new work-in-progress “De-Eschatology,” a physical manifestation of the claustrophobic conditions created by the COVID-19 crisis and the yearning to break free from them. The piece seeks to draw attention to a heightened sense of touch, which directly results from the lack of physical contact many in quarantine face.
