Under Oath
Created with and for the 3rd year dance students of VCA, Under Oath explores the greek mythology of The Furies; ancient, powerful, terrifying figures who relentlessly pursue those who commit unforgivable crimes. Working with the body as a vessel that turns rage into rupture, pursuit into benevolence, Under Oath inhabits a speculative realm that reflects a world treading between wrath and justice.
