“Grief as a strange, constantly shifting terrain: Cat Jimenez’ dance solo ruins of a shell traces the moment of reorientation after impact. What happens when the shock subsides and only traces remain? Here, between longing and irony, shells become objects of remembrance and migration – suspended between what hurts and what allows us to keep going.”
