Reality Bang continues Oblivia’s Turn Turtle Turn series. The performance weaves music, text, and movement into a sharp, minimalist performance that reflects on the “big bang of reality” – the moment society begins to truly feel the consequences of human-made climate change. The performance dives into this very moment, here and now.
