it’s the universe in there

Choreographed by Faith Rokowski

Set on the inside of a 1970s cult, we explore through movement the concepts of attachment, individuality and human connection. What kind of powerful relationships can we build with others if we believe those relationships can save the world? What drives a cult leader to acquire followers? Why do members who are smart and accomplished become enthralled by the charisma of their beliefs and leader?
