Cries of Deforestation From Within a White Cave is a new performance and installation work by Katrina Wolfe. In this performance, Katrina will explore the installation through her dynamic movement and continuous connection to live music and activated sounds, gradually changing the installation’s shape over time. She will activate the sonic qualities of the installation through her body’s interactions with its various organic and recycled materials, finding a paralleling resonance with a live, texturally sensitive soundscape of acoustic instruments by musicians Sam Vanderlinda and Xander Johns. 

Many of the materials used in this performance are derived from trees, thus drawing attention to the sacredness of their life-giving presence, the rate at which they are being destroyed, and the great urgency of the need to protect them. Through the art of butoh, Katrina will explore the relationship that humans share with nature, and the possibility of this relationship reaching a more harmonious and sustainable state.
