The feature presentation of Profound Fatigue is the fourth performance installment in the five-part Containment Scenario series exploring the discourse around climate change. It examines the ways in which language becomes exhausted, dull, and ineffectual and how non-normative forms and structures act to renew and refresh it. The multi-disciplinary performance utilizes all three floors of Meridian Gallery’s downtown Victorian building including all three gallery spaces, the central stairway, and the elevator. It combines stage direction, choreography, structured improvisation, and is developed in collaboration with the ensemble. The performance series is adapted from the book: Containment Scenario: DisLoInter MedTextId entCation: Horse Medicine (OBooks 2009).
