Explorer is an expedition with an unknown destination. Rebecca Jensen becomes a tourist within and beyond her body. The theatre is the landscape. There is activity between simulation and disappearance; encounters between surfaces; and a blurring of the boundaries between multiple realities. Explorer may be a new kind of wilderness. The strategy for its discovery? Don't stop dancing, ever.
