The narrative of this experimental performance is a journey through time and space: zooming into a wall vent to discover a solar system, and within that, the creation of civilization. With no discernible figures, the performance is preoccupied with landscape and planetary creation. Actions that occur over cosmic and geologic time. These vistas are constructed onstage from mundane everyday materials: mountain ranges of ceramic clay, orbiting planets of rubber balls, clouds of wood glue, and pepto-bismol volcanoes.
