Since the beginning of time, in communities, clans, congregations, and clubs, humans have gathered to move in unison. Set in a vivid universe of color and based on Annie-B Parson's stage choreography, The Oath explores the history of vernacular and poetic unison movement. Suspended between the communal and the monstrous, an assembly of seventeen women embody our human impulse to move as one — to bond, to battle, to intimidate, to gather, to promise, to dance!
