Jointly created by Raymond Bobgan & Cleveland CORE Ensemble.

May 11 – May 21, 2022 Inside the part museum, part haunted house, part workshop, guests witness scenes, monologues, dance, and music in this bold, multilayered performance. This sensory-rich “exhibition” weaves together threads of a mythical world where origami may come to life, moths can journey to a star, and the candle flame may be a doorway to a magical realm. Guests are welcomed into the space in small groups at regular intervals from 7:00 and 8:30pm (3:00 and 4:30pm on Sunday). The cycle of performance unfolds multiple times each night. Guests may exit after one cycle or stay through until the very end. Content Warning: This production includes frank discussions of neurodivergence.
