The temperature of hands, every step on the mud, and the interactive motions of the performers construct the cob columns. They labour, and they rest. Within the space, they refuse to take advantage of the flourishment underpinned by significant levels of pain, struggle, and exploitation of women and nature throughout history. They support each other, side by side to embrace fatigue. Embedded in cross-generational pain and exhaustion, the cycle and the movements inscribe a proclamation of care and regeneration. (Words by Yueh-Ning Lee).
