A water-study dance concert on a 19th century warship explores amnesia, illness, loss, and the afterlife. Closed-loop, gradation, and simultaneous canon interludes, together with the dance translation of arpeggios, and tremolos, consider "Peter Grimes," "Come and Go," and the work of Jean Cebron archived in Kinetography Laban. An ensemble of Isadora Duncan dancers necromantically works with found material from a rapidly disintegrating dance archive to explore collective/individual/subjective memory, oral/personal/living history, and question what would be the point in remembering.
