The title for this performance stems from a Latin word for "threshold." The performers dance in doorways between nature and art, the urban and the wild, direct experience and human imagination. They draw on themes of interspecies shapeshifting, and of the mingled fear of nature and longing for a golden age in our relationship with the earth.
