Celebrating the repurposed architecture of the gardiner expressway via the bentway, this site-specific performance re - envisions the site as a group navigation, questioning urban infrastructure as forms of political power and social design. It invites performers and audiences to participate in an exercise in psychogeography that explores how our navigation of the city is choreographed. The piece emerges from collectively scripted instructions to be enacted by a group of 60 performers and the public while traveling the bentway.
