Drawing inspiration from Plato's Allegory of the Cave, WHITE HOT ROOM explores the dissociative effects of long-held traumas within a body. An autobiographical work originally conceived in 2019 centering Warner's personal experiences with addiction, loss, and mental wellness, WHITE HOT ROOM is the first of a larger collection of movement-based work entitled "Letter's To Bunney" now reexamined through interdisciplinary practices developed while in residence at Triskelion Arts.
In a time rife with global and local cultural conflict putting the most marginalized communities at risk, Christian Warner and the company of WHITE HOT ROOM strive to contribute their hand in activating our community beyond the performance space with a clothing drive.
In addition to attending WHITE HOT ROOM, please consider bringing clothing items to donate! In exchange for your offering, you’ll receive half off of your first beverage prior to or after the performance.
Additionally, please consider donating to The Palestinian’s Children Relief Fund to support their ongoing efforts to provide medical relief to children in the Middle East.
