IF YOU THROW AN EGG AT A MOUSE TRAP IT BREAKS BUT STILL ESCAPES (ITERATION II) (2024)

is a piece developed by Erica Enriquez and Ke Zhang for two performers exploring what it means to escape. Performers interact with a makeshift wall that is created with metal studs and material remnants from a former piece of the same name. Through performance this object transforms into various configurations: from a mask, to a window, a ping pong net and vehicle. Through movement performers play and explore these formal permutations as methods of liberation from the wall. For the hole that can be vacant or violent, it also can become an opening or a doorway, an imaginative landscape, or reclamation.
