Three special performances: 2 pm, 7 pm on March 8 and 2 pm on March 9.

Ten artists of different faiths and spiritual paths boldly jump into the swirling waters of interfaith collaboration in this work-in-progress performance of personal stories, dance, poetry and song.

Come witness their plunge into the deep as they question:

How can multi-dimensional religious identities live side by side?

How do we navigate religious conflicts with intelligence and compassion?

How can we create progressive and respectful visions for the future?
