L.O.A.D.E.D. performance
L.O.A.D.E.D is a live dance and music collaboration by the nationally recognized dance company CALI & CO dance headed by choreographer Christine Cali and San Francisco indie rocker Matt Langlois aka The Welcome Matt.
L.O.A.D.E.D being their second collaboration promises to be a fierce 3 day run of rich and evocative metaphor through modern dance juxtaposed against a back drop of meditative pulsating sounds and projections. Investigating a myriad of "loaded" present day concerns, including the food we eat, our planets environmental destruction and our human inclinations toward escapism (both healthful and destructive) L.O.A.D.E.D heavily weighs the dynamic navigation of our present state of being.
