Out of Joint asks: “How to untell a story that cannot be told but must be told.” The piece investigates the possibilities of a non-sovereign social formation, thinking the problem of relating as a practice in which situational clarity is worked out in real time, not secured in advance. Specifically, it looks towards aesthetic strategies that give voice to traumatic experience beyond affective legibility and melodramatic expectations. 

Out of Joint consists of a series of performances which formed the research culminating into ALL RISE.
