About

What can a dance do to confront the constant grief that we experience in our lives? Super Nothing presents four dancers whose explorations are analogues for how people support each other to survive. Interdependence takes multiple forms, as the performers move through representations of the past to create a blueprint for a new future. This piece extends Gutierrez’s interest over the past few years in creating “choreography for the end of the world.”
