Can I perceive the radical changes in how my community lives, while experiencing a flux? Am I finding comfort in my vices? Have I grown? Or have I regressed?

Space derives meaning from how humans inhabit (or don’t inhabit) it. The sudden reconfiguration of our relationship to space affects us on a personal, interpersonal and societal level. Our interstices have been grossly distorted to make us now question every encroachment, and redefine how we move in response to it. The walls that once delineated a place of solace now feel monochromatic and stiff. As we attempt to harmonize within, and amidst the noise, different aspects of our personality and communal consciousness have either vehemently resisted or quietly acquiesced to this new domestication.

Z A G A follows the reaction of three dancers as they reconsider their relationship to space, making sense of the amorphous bubbles of comfort that grow and shrink. Forced to shed the outermost layers of their personalities, some yearn to flee their apprehensions, others soak in saccharine hopefulness, and few discover balance in their rewilding.
