In “Kshoy!/Decay!” (“kshoy” is the Bengali word for “decay”), the company uses a potent metaphor — mud, as in dirt that sticks to skin — to explore the afterlives of African, Asian and other women of color forced to relocate or evacuate from their homelands. The piece investigates how women have worked through multiple and repeated histories of dislocation, relocation, evacuation and violence in the name of tradition. “Kshoy!/Decay!” is the first work in a new four-part investigation into violence, trauma, resistance and empowerment experienced by communities of color, using the elements of mud, gold, oil and water as metaphor.
