INSTALLATION | Significant Souls: A Story of Struggle, Hope and Beauty
A life contains the world, step into another's shoes, incarnation on earth, shed your skin, your worries, for eight billion versions of now, loss for one, the world is forever changed, Significant Souls surround, how precious these lives, how sweet their sounds as memories songs fill the air, rich breath from golden lungs into our ears, our bones, our hearts.
America is a country of immigrants and refugees. This land embodies the multitudes; the richness of the nation comes from the people. Each has a story to share, many of devastating conditions, loss and pain. Everyday people organized to demand better working conditions that were not commonly granted by owners without challenge. In America, immigrants, refugees and migrants start anew, reestablishing their traditions and working toward a better life, providing the next chapter in the American story. We are so fortunate to experience the variety of cultures that blossom as we weave a resilient community that has proven, caring yields growth, adding new fibers creates strength and collaboration models acceptance for a new generation.
PERFORMANCE | “Significant Souls: Internal Song”
Experience our diverse performers adding voice to generations who have endured, resisted and preserved their culture on this land. “How sweet their sounds as memories songs fill the air, rich breath from golden lungs into our ears, our
bones, our hearts”.
