Embodiment Project presents
Belly of the Whale
April 11 - 20, 2025
on Z Space’s Steindler Stage
What does it mean to embody radical “Revolutionary Love" in this time of profound polarization? With a cast of ten virtuosic street dancers and four acclaimed vocalists and actors, EP's newest and most ambitious work, Belly of the Whale masterfully points us to the way. Belly is a multidisciplinary tragicomedy interweaving street dance, live music, spoken word, and documentary theater to radically disrupt otherness and the politics of disposability.
