I’m in the Middle of the Ocean, and I Can’t See You is a series of vignettes exploring mortality, rebirth, grief, passion, and the pursuit of freedom, by Kashia Kancey. At its core, the piece examines the many versions of the self—those we know and those yet to be discovered—while prompting reflection on the lengths one is willing to go for liberation. Created by Kancey and performed by Kancey, Cristina Moya-Palacios, Alondra Balbuena, and Chanel Stone, this work responds to the 1899 novel The Awakening by Kate Chopin, engaging with its themes of defiance, repression, and self-determination through a contemporary lens.
