hoof

A mohawked centaur snorts as the world burns down behind her; an antlered Cleopatra glides by with insurmountable beauty; a fashion show gets stuck to a wall; and a family of ungulates sit patiently awaiting their delivery dinner. 'hoof' is physical theatre inspired by herd behavior, mythic beasts, the melodrama of portraiture, and the banality of TV dinners.
