When The Sky Separated From The Earth teases apart elements of our identities that have been learned or constructed from those that are genuine and authentic. What are our stories and how did they come to be? The work asks questions around duplicity and multiplicity, fantasy and reality, and deception and truth. It considers art’s ability to fabricate, deceive, and reveal truth(s), at once. It is a playground, a gym, town plaza, church, bedroom, stage, and home. It is a mashup of movement, text, props, and song. It is loud and out-of-bounds. It is against the rules. It is not exactly true, but it isn’t exactly false, either. And it asks, “How can we trust - in ourselves, in others, and in our world?” It works to reveal our humanity – full of faults, but always with the capacity to listen to our own unique truths and the truths of those around us with compassion, goodwill, and heart.
