Five interconnected short pieces delicately untwist the web of memory, perception, and recorded reality in THE BEES THINK THEIR HOUSE IS ON FIRE, an interdisciplinary performance distorting time and space with an unusual marriage of film and wordless movement.
Using a mashup of physical theater, original video, and found home video footage from the creators’ childhoods, BEES unpacks the the difference between what we remember and what actually happened—extracts the uncanny from tiny moments—swims in the repetitions that pattern our lives—unravels the images we use to understand the world.
