ECDYSIS
By Troy Lingelbach, in collaboration with Lavy of Verbal Animal and master rigger Joshua Letton.
Troy Lingelbach has saved every piece of single use plastic they have consumed over the past two years under their bed. Now, they have created a plastic playground in the woods repurposing this plastic - creating the setting for a cosmic messenger to share what plastic has been trying to communicate for a hundred years. The artist pushes the limits of their body, equated to innocuous waste, in this assessment of the consumer relationship to plastic. This immersive experience is part installation, part performance art, part dance party in the woods, filled with opportunities to connect deeply with nature, community, and self.
ECDYSIS is proudly supported by Hupstate Circus, NYS DanceForce, 3AM Theatre, and Bindlestiff Family Cirkus (2026 First of May Award recipient). Gathering sponsored by Open Spaces Cider.
Gathering begins at 6:00pm.

Route from parking to performance Space:
The performance space is a significant walk from the parking area that traverses a dirt driveway, grass, and a path through the trees made of woodchips. There is limited access to an all-terrain wheelchair, and we are working with the venue on other transportation options. If you think you will need assistance getting between the parking area and the performance location, please email polly@hupstatecircus.org
