Dance, Immersive & Interactive Experience
Connect
The subtle body connects us globally by the threads of grief, joy, struggle, and awakening. "A Call to Prayer" by Zaquia Mahler Salinas is a moving meditation that pulls these threads through embodied ritual, inviting us to honor our pain and call into existence restoration and hope. With both universal themes and unique expressions of ritual and communion as a source material, this dance seeks to connect us to the collective experience of journeying into and out of darkness.
With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime at cannonballfestival.org.
