STONE SOUP is a communal gathering around stone, mineral, charcoal, and rubble as active material archives. Through experimental improvisation, artists Dima Mabsout and Tyler Rai, bring their practices together, weaving ritual, story, sound, and soup-making into a collaborative space with members of the Indexical community. Utilizing loop pedals, contact microphones, transducers, and mortar and pestles, the artists transmute lithic matter into a haptic experience of mineral and bodily transformation. The piece takes the form of a 3-part ritual where sediment becomes sound and minerals nourish the bones. A space for digestion, for nourishment, for renewal.

**Soup will served after the performance. We will provide a small number of bowls and utensils, but audiences are encourage to bring their own bowl.*
