A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.

Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
