View on mapgifts is the latest site-based work by choreographer Shannon Hummel. In this, the 20th anniversary season of her company Cora Dance, Hummel pushes the limits of physical confinement and boundless imagination, sequestering dancers and audience in an intensely isolated location - undisclosed until performance - to paint a harsh world where value is defined by circumstance.
In times of uncertainty, gifts calls into question whether persistent belief in future rewards is worth pushing through and dismissing the accessible pleasures of the present moment. A journey of textures, tastes, sounds, smells, and images - real and imagined - gifts is a frank look at a world absent of sensuality whose possibilities for rejuvenation are available only in the imagination.
the end looks like the beginning.
