One day, the residents of an apartment block stopped breathing. All at once. All together. The air had become too rarefied. They waited for something to happen. Anything. An eternity. All at once. A little death. 'La Petite Mort.'

Liberally inspired by the writing of Juan Rulfo and Herman Melville, this hybrid digital performance juggles a longing for proximal presence with the playful possibilities of screen-based performance.

Through choreographic processes developed by Cross Pollination, 6 performers dive in the universes of telenovelas and magic realism to share their concerns and insights about online performative modes created during the pandemic.
