Endlessly inventive theatre troupe Phantom Limb Company offers an emotional and urgent call to climate action with the world premiere of Falling Out at OZ Arts Nashville.
Inspired by the catastrophic 2011 tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster, this genre-defying meditation on water, heartbreak, and toxic fallout tells a story of personal grief and global rupture.
Phantom Limb Company began an exploration of our current climate crisis with 69˚S. in 2012 and Memory Rings, which premiered at OZ Arts in 2015. Falling Out is the third and final installment in the trilogy, following a couple’s romance as a metaphor for the loss of the personal connection we once had with the earth and asking the question: “How do we define hope?”
Fusing vastly different performance styles of contemporary flex dance and Japanese butoh movement with Phantom Limb’s singular style of puppet theater and original music, these New York-based artists create a haunting, unforgettable tapestry of collective collapse and renewal.
Be the first to see it right here in Nashville before engagements at Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
