In this chaotic landscape, two humans investigate the rubble, trying to re-imagine and reconnect with what once was. They intuit the essence of the past, transforming ruins into allies and engaging in games to grasp reality's nature. RUNA highlights the beauty of this fragile past and searches for remnants for us to hold onto in the present. Through abstract movement and profound embodiment of dimensions and weight, these characters bring us back to our core existence: beings shaped by the relentless passage of time. With the rune etched in our minds, how do we move forward?

ODC is on the ancestral lands of the Ramaytush People in Yelamu. We pay respects to elders past and present, who are still here and part of our community. We recognize that regenerative land management is not new, but is a continuation of practices from Native cultures and from our own ancestors. It is our responsibility to steward the land with care, as our elders did before us.
