This year\u2019s program celebrates the persistence and imagination of independent theatre, dance and performance at a moment when the very possibility of making this kind of work is under pressure. This is the fragile, necessary space that experimental artists and gatherings like HOLD ON LET GO have always protected: a space for contemporary performance that asks artists and audiences to lean into uncertainty, stay with complexity, and dream new possibilities for a world in visible collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n From February 3-7, over five days and nights, the Russian Hall will become a shared studio \u2014 a porous setting to test forms, reach across disciplines and witness work that refuses easy categorization. The artists in this year\u2019s program speak from where they stand while also reaching toward larger, messier questions: works that examine our intimate ecosystems even as they hold wider systems to account.<\/span><\/p>\n
