Movement artists Jon Boogz and Lil Buck debut "Honor thy mother," a delicate, powerful performance of spoken word, violin and dance that draws on the tormented relationship between nature and humanity.

A dance to honor Mother Earth

The performance evokes humanity's troubled relationship with nature, blending dance, spoken word, and music to show both loss and hope. Scenes shift from scarred landscapes and eroding memories to vivid images of air, water, and fire sustaining all life. Nature's voice calls out for remembrance, reminding people of the gifts, beauty, and balance only collaboration can restore. The piece urges a return to harmony, where care for the planet rekindles abundance.
