DESCRIPTION: Inspired by "Walking Each Other Home: Conversions on Loving and Dying," a title by guru Ram Dass, this production explores the deepest parts of us: our passions and fears, our failures and our rebirths. We are in this profound mystery of life together; we need each other. In this playful and poignant series of vignettes, we will witness our ancestors, lighten our darkest memories, and communicate beyond words on our desires and secrets. There is a piece of all of us in each work, and we hope to introduce you to the subtleties of our alive-ness. Dance and music will be our primary media for this journey! :)
