Experiencing Interruptions?

CANICULAR

Dog days / Dog daze

In Canicular, different pasts are considered, and the specious present is made apparent. This piece is pulled forward by time and, at first, backward by text, asking that we start from a different beginning to explore alternate pasts and undeveloped selves. The focal points are canine—the bodies, the behaviors, slowed into purposeful observation of how me might be still even as we remain in motion.
