HUNGER & Hurt
(the Gifts of Earth)

An outdoor choreographic and video collaboration exploring the effects of our actions on Nature and on each other. As long as we are willing to hurt each other, the World will be Hungry!

Some of the pieces were previewed in celebration of UN’s World Water Day on March 22. This year’s theme is “The World Is Thirsty Because We Are Hungry.”
