Before it Hurts is a physical theater performance, a relational duet dissecting an intricate, intimate relationship formed around the death of another. Devised around a scripted text and structured like a concept album, it presents a visceral navigation of the push and pull in various forms of intimacy and the messiness of grieving.

Trigger Warning: death, violence, existential dread
