Surrendered Spirits is an inter-multidisciplinary duet that excavates the introspective reflection on memories of childhood fractures and joys. Inspired by the impact of familial displacement, and the artists’ upbringing as children of racialized, marginalized and immigrant families, the work rides the edge through physical and emotional virtuosity, guiding you through collective breath, care and emotional blooms while addressing the ancestral wounds seeking to be nurtured.

Surrendered Spirits invites you into a vortex of physical and emotional vibrancy, and a paradigm that weaves our narratives through dance, theatre, song, and ritual.

Surrendered Spirits is presented on a double-bill performance with Rudy Ray & Co.
