“HYDRA is a cavalcade of contemporary artworks, visualizations, and soundscapes inspired by our connection to water,” said Tricia Knowles, Calliope’s Artistic Director and the lead creator of HYDRA. “The show tells a story of how the spirit of water has become trapped (quite literally in plastic) by greed, pollution, and destruction, and offers hope by showing how coming together to honour her can help her to reclaim her power. It is our goal that folks are inspired to truly connect with the land that we’re on and to give energy back to the water that has healed and held us.”
