NOVEMBER 21-23, 2024
8PM
RUNTIME: 40 minutes with no intermission
Using spirituality as a vessel of connection and the common denominator between two different yet similar religions, empathy, trust and intimacy is shared withinside the multitudes of relationships that we embody with each other. To release into complexities gives us access to be with each other and to see from the other side.
"And now our bodies knew bodies,
They danced in unison, they got tired
They found rest without darkness Our
bodies, the performers of labor and care
could feel and breathe together Our bodies
now weren’t afraid of a sunset."
- Tsohil Bhatia
