Program B: It Happened to me Once & The Thing That Waits For Us

by Hailey Cindric

The human mind often creates dreams that reflect a person’s past experiences and daily life. Hailey Cindric's It Happened to Me Once explores the phenomenon of deja vu both within, and separate from these dreams, and the feeling of not only nostalgia, but slight discomfort and confusion that it evokes.

Choreographer: Hailey Cindric

Performers: Aidan Acosta, Sarah Baileigh, Maddie Barry, Katie Jaffie, Casey Leyden, Sarah Marino, Leah Schinsing, and Amelia Sherman

Music and Composers: Monaka by Kikagaku Moyo, Dripping Sun by Kikagaku Moyo, Alberto Balsalm by Dungen

by Sophie Rossman

Inspired by the analog horror genre, The Thing That Waits For Us is a tender depiction of how children grieve other children. Utilizing mime and mask to communicate the complex and voiceless emotions behind grief, this terrifying, hilarious, and heartbreaking play speaks to everyone without using a single word.
