Venue

Robert Cohen Theatre

Through surreal storytelling and dreamlike sequences, the piece delves into themes of grief, spiritual disconnection and the enduring ties of family. At its heart is a striking moment, a fish gutted live onstage, serving as a visceral metaphor for inner reckoning and the persistence of memory. Engage in an intimate, atmospheric and subtle emotional exploration.

Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 2 p.m.

Please join us after the performance for a talkback with company members and scholars.
Open captions are available for this performance.
