salt for curing is a visceral undoing of self, an attempted reconciliation of the performers’ personal and shared narratives in which we witness the fleshy and tangible manifestations of grief, intimacy, sex, loss, toxicity, and divinity. It is an exorcism through exercise; purgation through performance.
