Question of Belief proposes a demonology of the contemporary. Inspired by the contemplative practices of the desert monks, choregrapher Kareth Schaffer deftly navigates us between actionism and sloth, distraction and apathy, procrastination and compassion fatigue. Demons appear and disappear, inviting an embodied look at those parts of ourselves—and others—that probably should just be ignored, but always seem to crop back up.
