Fiber is a performance of vocal textures and choreographed gestures that traces the threads of communication between animals, plants, water, and land. Rooted in play, listening, and mutual dependence, the work explores nonhuman sentience, such as how whales speak, how forests grieve, how dogs tremble, and decenters the human within Earth’s living systems. Each part: Channels, We’ve Just Discovered Whales Have Language, Pando Forest Mourns, Earth Quakes, Dogs Shake, Waterbodies, and We Are invites the audience to consider how we might embody and understand the nonhuman world.
