A spokesperson says---
“..Over 45 minutes, scenes unfold like emotional ruptures and reconciliations, bodies collapsing and lifting one another as time folds and fractures. Built out of Bartosik’s own experiences and deeply shaped by the individuality of her performers, bLUr is both specific and universal in its exploration of trauma, rescue, and embodied desire. Performers—each bringing their own physical signatures—move through states of exhaustion, eroticism, fragmentation, and ferocious endurance, reminding us how powerful and fragile our need for one another really is..."
