Lake Burst re-imagines an Irish folktale “River Claiming It’s Due” -the lore of a lake calling for the inevitable death of its next victim -as a story of inner conflict & spiritual rebirth. Performed through site-responsive movement improvisation, the film captures the Irish-Trinidadian artist’s process of connecting to landscape as a pathway to belonging.
