Works

Bound is a performance about conflict between being bound and the freedom that we search for.

There are a few definitions of bound: The past tense of bind; Being obliged to do something or behave in a certain way for legal or moral reasons; To move quickly and energetically, with large strides or jump; Traveling toward a particular place; To form the boundary to an area or site; Or to impose limits on something.

All of these definitions hold true in this performance.
