Shrimp Dance
Presented By: Paul Michael Henry / Jer Reid / Jamie Wardrop
Shrimp Dance is a Butoh dance performance with live music and video art, based
on research showing anti-depressants entering the sea through human waste
are affecting the behaviour of shrimp. High levels of Prozac cause shrimp
to abandon their shadowy habitat and swim towards the light where they’re
often eaten. The humans are so sad that the shrimp are going crazy. Shrimp
Dance is a meditation on the medicalisation of profound sadness, linking
our inner isolation to climate change, eco-anxiety and related crises
(waste, ecocide, consumer capitalism and extreme inequality). Your sadness
is political.
