The Thing

“The Thing: A Dance from the Deep,” is a water-based performance set in a 52-foot long wading pool around which the audience, wearing parkas, sit on tree stumps surrounded by over 7000 pennies. Muz and two male dancers (Matt Mohr and Janusz Jaworski) wearing diaphanous white tunics. keep the dance in the realm of the absurd.
