TRIGGERED is an acrobatic, theatrical exploration of the root of anger. Set in a world where red is more than pigment – it is vibration, energy, and fire – the show dives into the raw, untamed force of this powerful emotion. Through partner acrobatics, dance, and physical theater, the performers embody anger’s many faces: its heat, volatility, protective nature, destructive potential, and alchemizing ability.
Beginning in the quiet rumblings of irritation, building through the explosive release of fury, and arriving at the possibility of redirection and transformation, TRIGGRED invites audiences to reflect on their own relationship to anger: where it lives in the body, how it moves through communities, and what might be possible if we allow ourselves to sit with its heat long enough to listen.

TRIGGERED was created through the BIPOC Acro Collective Care Ecosystem’s Take Power, Make Power residency pilot program. After seven months of remote mentorship from revolutionary Black and Brown artists from across the country, the inaugural TPMP cohort came together in-person to create this incredible show over the course of only one week at ODC Theater.
