Object to be Destroyed 

Object to be Destroyed is a ceremonial performance built around the careful process of placing two magnetized pendulums in balance. The piece sets the audience, guided carefully by the performers, on a journey that brings together symbolic and historical time, mystical fantasies, the magical experience of science, and the point where bearing witness meets spectacle.
