Caribbean Fragments performance took place after the conversation with Soto. The performance recreated  archetypal energies manifested through dance, song and music. The pavilion was transformed into a vortex of embodied creative energy that resembled Soto’s array of ocean traces as an intricate maze of blue streamers moved by the dancers across the room in all directions, up and down,  in circles, suddenly and slowly, inviting all who were present to become the Caribbean sea.
