The Thirst for Love and Water, July 2015

“This is a story about Love and Water….Six travellers from six different eras converge across time and water, arriving at a single remarkable moment. Suspended in a world of multi-era dream-image, across a tumultuous landscape of dance fused with acrobatics and aerial work…who will find the soul’s desire? Premiere run Toronto 2015 Panamanian Festival, July 2015 at Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto.” From http://loveandwater.org
