Cave

Synopsis

In extreme situations, it is difficult to distinguish between anger and pain. Using key moments in three extracts from Martha Graham's choreographies—Clytemnestra, Cave of the Heart and Lamentation—Cave combines hand-drawn animation and technological sounds to explore emotions and bodily movements, while also addressing our body's state of despair and entrapment.
