A forest of upside-down human bodies grows out of the concrete, set against Toronto’s high-rise horizon. In WOODS, performers’ bodies struggle to maintain their verticality, calling attention to the struggle faced by nature itself: How long can the body resist? How long can our forests survive? What happens when their time – and ours – runs out?

The North American premiere of Brazilian choreographer Clarice Lima, WOODS features a crowdsourced cast of local residents pushing their bodies and head-standing skills in a unique public performance.
