Umber Glow looks to what takes shape within encroaching darkness. Performers traverse the space as players in a changing ecosystem, navigating transformations from creature to human and back again— what is decomposing/breaking/falling apart is always simultaneously coming together. As the ensemble performs phrases, improvisations, and movement rituals, they evoke images and energies of physical resilience within a murky landscape.
