Clouds from a Crumbling Giant
our wild shining days
April 31 - May 3, 2026
Z Space’s Steidler Stage
Clouds from a Crumbling Giant: our wild shining days, breathes in the spaces of time between human incarnations. Broken yet boundless bodies enter the waiting room of the afterlife. As they re-enact their corporeal memories, consciousness folds in upon itself. 496 moons rise and fall. The band plays “Hazy Shade of Winter.”
inkBoat, founded in 1998, continually invites in the collaborative voices of artists who meet in uncertain territories. The company brings together disperate backgrounds in Noh Theater, Coporeal Mime, Butoh Dance, Physical Theater, and unconventional orchestrations involving acoustic instruments, sound design and nostalgic wonderment.
Shinichi Iova-Koga directs this rumination on being and non-being in collaboration with Dana Iova-Koga, Jubilith Moore, Dan Cantrell, Elke Luyten, Cass Tunick, Adria Otte, Mari Osanai, Allen Willner and Ellen Sebastian Chang.
Additional collaborators include Shahzad Ismaily, Pamela Z, Khatchadour Khatchadourian, Suki O’Kane, Kaori Yamashita, Edward Schocker, Jon Raskin, Erin Carper, Joy Cosculluela, Ann Dragich, Eileen Housteau, Mary Parks, Carla Kihlstedt, Crow Nishimura, Joshua Kohl, Brian Collentine, Jackson Kao, Maia, Elizabeth Pasquale, Jim Koester and Embodiment Project.
