In observance of World Mental Health Day, here is a Pilobolus microdose of new work Virtuous + Vicious, which explores the fragile feedback loops that shape human relationships and inner life. Together, the movement and music form a living feedback system, revealing how easily we fall into cycles, and how awareness, collaboration, and care can transform even the most difficult loops into something generative. We dedicate this piece to everyone touched by mental health challenges.

If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental health crisis and is in need of support, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Available 24/7.
