This new work for dance and chamber ensemble examines the mystery and elusive magic of ruins. Ruins remind us of a past that could have been and a future that never took place, tantalizing us with dreams of escaping the irreversibility of time.

Performed by an all-women cast, this production of Henrik Ibsen’s classic A Doll House questions the roles that society assigns to men and women. Set in late nineteenth-century Norway, the play follows Nora, a woman who seeks self-fulfillment and slams the door on the dollhouse that is her marriage. This fresh perspective on the classic play encourages audiences to question what has changed since 19th-century Europe through the interpretations of six women actors playing male and female characters.
