synopsis: This immersive performance is a ritualistic ceremony that follows the journey of 4 demigods. They come together and connect through a movement and musical mandala that allow them to collectively open a portal of truth seeking: to share their stories of facing their shadows and channel the healing process for their wounds.

Through a dynamic modular soundscape of recorded voices, ambient music, and complex syncopated rhythms, each character goes on a cathartic journey to transform their darkness into light. This is a story of how light is not something that is simply given to you, but through the reckoning of grief and trauma, and ability to move through darkness with community that can allow for light, magic, and infinite possibility to grow inside you.
