About this Event
Join us as we transform the stunning SOMArts gallery space into a transported world of infinite possibility. This immersive dance-theater performance invites the audience to explore the world of the show on foot, surrounded by light and color, as the choreography and action unfold around you.
Four fractured figures are suspended in parallel worlds, each trapped within unresolved memories. As audience members move through the space, the boundaries between these worlds begin to break down, setting in motion an exploration of identity, disconnection, and the need to reconnect with oneself and community. The show pulls inspiration from the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the Bardo, a threshold between death and rebirth, and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets.
“At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is…” -T.S. Eliot

Artist Supporter Tier Tickets
For those who are able, we highly encourage you to purchase an Artist Supporter Tier Ticket. Ticket sales directly support the artists who have spent the last year bringing this ambitious project to life. If just one-third of our audience purchases at the Supporter Tier, it will help us build toward future Bay Area projects while supporting the artists, designers, performers, and collaborators who make this work possible.
