HotHouse is a commentary on confinement and an exploration of how the COVID-19 pandemic unmasked the greater systemic failures of America. In this evening-length duet, props and clothing are suspended inside of a plastic arena. The enclosed environment serves as an adaptable canvas, transforming into a medical isolation unit, a slaughterhouse, a prison cell, a church. As the narrative unfolds, audiences are witness to the trauma of isolation and the myth of White Jesus.

HotSpot Class will be offered at the ODC School on Friday, March 14 at 10:00am. Register at odc.dance/schedule.
