“
Every soul is a circus.” Martha Graham quoting Vachel Lindsay
A group of migrants and exiles gather for a funeral. Embodying remnants of various
cultures, lost and found, they attempt to honor the ancestors.
Humans, briefly playing gods by extending physical and social limits, invoke
strength
and flight, flexibility and balance, whimsy and tragedy.
Welcome to the circus.
