Free falling they recall the past in order to imagine a future of infinite-love-possibility. Rhincodon cruise through oceanic malls, Bakunawa ride countercurrents all the way to the Skyscraper: Jaws of the Horizon aka The Edge. Future life forms abound vertically in the great continual UNFOLDING ~ 

AEON† is an accumulative body: presented as live performance, video and installation works. In an unfolding Mesozoic Mise-En-Cene the artists use their body and craft as an instrument of metaphysics in genesis with the wreckage. After Cyclic and successive big *BANGS* the boundless clown dances on the blade’s edge. 

Aeon—meaning a vital force, or an indefinite period of time—bears tension with †(dagger): the symbol placed beside the name of a species indicating it has become extinct. The world of AEON† speculates a realm between the infinite and the definite. The performance space becomes a fertile petri dish incubating distinct and recombinant organisms. Fusing Filipinx myth, puppetry and queer pageantry as ceremony, AEON† births a hypnotic ecology of beings that emerge from the muck of a decomposing parallel world.
