CRISIS AVERTED

CRISIS AVERTED is a contemporary performance work that examines how individuals and institutions fail to confront potential threats. The project takes a humorous yet critical look at how we attempt to stave off our fears—often by pretending they don’t exist, shirking responsibility, or feigning ignorance.

Through playful scenarios and absurd, offbeat games, Crisis Averted envisions a beautiful utopia where sticking our heads in the sand is not only acceptable but carries no consequences. Because, when it comes down to brass tacks, we all just want to have a nice time.
