Latent Shores is a short film centring on the movements of a masked figure whose body is entangled in rope, ancestral yearning, and traditional Chinese water sleeves. The figure plays with delays, pauses, extensions, and currents: the delay between the inhale and exhale, the pause between the rhythmic pulses of the heart, the space that exists just beyond the bounds of the body, and the ancestral and iconographic currents that connect us back to our body’s inherited histories. Accompanying the short film, there will be three live performances by the masked figure at 7, 8, and 9pm.
