Insects in Heat is a solo multi-disciplinary theatre piece about Mizu, who transports herself into her dead other’s nightmares, and discovers and imagines her mother’s memory of a first love that ended in tragedy.
Mizu travels through a surrealistic landscape where she conjures a matriarchal ancestor, as well as a retro-futuristic dream character to help her reflect upon the sensual and violently aberrant power of the cycle of giving birth and taking life.
