For now we see through a mirror. So. Damn. Dimly. Join our performers as they explore the ways we humans try, and fail, and try again to truly see one another. Can they reach through the noise of their own egos/fears/assumptions/mental chatter?  There will be pain. Laughter. Dancing. Blunt force. Will the mirrors that stand between them hold strong?  In this 20-minute performance, individuals try to connect, but they just keep missing one another. Presented through dance, play, drama, song and comedy, these humans just can’t seem to hear one another through the noise of their own egos. Their fears. Their assumptions. Their mental chatter. The piece culminates in the performers attempting to shatter the mirrors that stand between them.
