Hold the Sun in New and Streamlined Machines
A Blue Death Feigning Beetle is placed on each hand: wherever they walk, the performer must prevent them from falling to the ground. The performer inadvertently evolves a dance in the process of shepherding the beetles and perhaps learns from their resilience. The title is taken from a description written by Robert Oppenheimer’s secretary, Dorothy McKibben, of the laboratories built for the Manhattan project in New Mexico where Blue Death Feigning beetles also reside.
