Artistic Direction: Nate Yaffe
Le Radeau présente Rot Hat is a historical fiction, a speculative ceremony to enter the dark forest. With humour and disarming vulnerability, Nate Yaffe taps into the subtle logic of his neurodivergent body to ‘remember’ long lost story fragments, songs, and dances with rotting logs and fruit. He follows their lead, de-composing his body and composting cultural artefacts into new fertile ground. With his hurdy-gurdy, Ben Grossman joins Nate in this quest, and together they reinscribe the ancient bond that joins musician and dancer, hollowing ourselves out to make room for joy and grief. Created and performed by Nate Yaffe Dramaturgy Thea Patterson Music performance and composition Ben Grossman Lights Nien Tzu Weng
