Performance, mixed media
Unto This Last is an experimental performance that explores how moments of misunderstanding, interruption and fragmented communication can shape new ways of relating to one another. Through live interactions, amplified whispers and projected close-ups of gestures and expressions, the performance reveals how meaning is constantly being formed and negotiated – often beyond conventional language and physical abilities.
The title is borrowed from John Ruskin’s Unto This Last, in which he argues that true wealth lies not in material accumulation but in the care and ethical responsibility we have for one another. In the same spirit, this performance seeks to create fleeting yet profound exchanges where presence, vulnerability and collective adaptation become forms of abundance.
Embracing miscommunication as a generative force, Unto This Last invites audiences to experience connection not as a given, but as something we build together – through patience, improvisation and attention to what is often overlooked.
