32°F

“The hibernating repertoire remains in a state of dormancy within a suitable shelter, known as a hibernaculum or storage space. Hibernation is observed in various species, such as bats, hedgehogs, hamsters, dormice, and ground squirrels. During hibernation, the repertoire’s body temperature drops dramatically, sometimes approaching 32 °F. Heartbeat and respiration slow significantly and occur at widely spaced intervals. Digestive and excretory processes are greatly reduced, and the hibernating repertoire does not take in any food or fluids.”

Frozen. Preserved by cold.
A freeze-style montage of stage material. A mix of texts, identities, sets, props, costumes, and technologies from eight past shows. A one-off event that suspends D’Epog’s regular repertoire.
