Season Spotlight:
Through the Looking Glass
What are the markers that orient us to place? What is “true North”, and how do we use it to calibrate our way through the world? This season, we are exploring both sides of the looking glass as a way to see and re-see the world. We all have topsy-turvy lives and sometimes we feel lost and adrift, but often very little on the surface of our daily routines has changed. The challenges faced by the characters this season have to do with place and how liminal space can shift rapidly through what the ancient Celts called "thin places" -- portals between realities, imaginings, and time.
Come be part of the journey! Explore unique worlds with us this season.
“He meant that sometimes you get a glimpse into a life that you never thought of before. There are hidden trap doors all over the place, and suddenly you see one, and the next thing you know you’re flogging grateful businessmen or chopping lobsters in half, and the world’s just so much bigger than you thought it was.”
(Julie Powell, Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously)
“It is not down in any map; true places never are.”
(Herman Melville, Moby Dick)

An elevator opens.
Inside the elevator it is raining.
Eurydice gets rained on inside the elevator.
She looks bewildered."
