Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.

An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
