The piece uses dance, sound, light and optical illusion to explore governmental power, control, violence and social unrest. An exposé of the theatrics of order enforcement, CTA reflects on the complex relationship between agents of power and the civilians they supposedly protect; on the instrumentalisation of fear; on the duality of “them” and “us” at street level. Movement is dance; movement is assembly; movement is a call to arms.
