Synopsis:
The experimental production is a journey of human experience toward enlightenment or “the other shore.” Through the use of games, sounds, gestures and words, the actors created a series of episodes showcasing the struggle between the human collective consciousness and the idea of being an individual.
In the production, audience members were travelers as well, finding themselves immersed in a nontraditional environment onstage for the duration of the play.
