“Trouble the Water’ is the culmination of nearly a decade of barrelling against
New York City’s structural ambivalence and indifference; an invocation to a like-
minded global community to consider the alchemy of family-building, and of
turning water to blood.”

New Single: WE CAME TO PLAY

About: “Although the title invokes the ancient alchemy Moses wielded to free and unite
Israelite peoples, ‘Trouble The Water’ refuses nostalgia or mimicry. Instead, it considers
the sublime power of the unifying physical practices that can be enacted daily, to invoke immeasurable spiritual and collective reactions.

Buoyed by moments of stinging stillness and compulsive, almost optimistic, malfunctioning rhythms, the work is literally a conjuration to dance, and move. If we are really living through the end of the world, maybe every movement we make, no matter how slight, is actually boundless and radical.”

SMTB definitely came to play
in their big bang way.
