“Fossus” reflects on the fragility and strength of the human body, as seen through the contortions of a rhythmic gymnast. Against a curtain reminiscent of a stage set, and then in silhouette, looking out into a non-existant audience, the performer, wearing an oversized pre-columbian inspired mask, moves through her extreme poses to Aaron Hemphill’s abstracted noise music..
