Here to Here
By juxtaposing compassionate duets with verbal competitive commentary or adagio moments with rapid-fire narration, text and movement are combined to ask: how do we choose to present ourselves and how can we better navigate the sensitive subject of inconsistency? Here to Here continues Hannah’s research on finding solace in the humor of being human.
