Peel Me asks you to peel back your layers. Will you? Can you? What sits just under the surface? And then under that? Through a series of vignettes, Peel Me’s performers eat and destroy grapefruits and fortune cookies, using mess as an access for catharsis. This experimental Western contemporary dance work examines nuanced states of control, release, greed and care, all while building a truly sensory experience.
