Told through a narrative urban dance riff on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Beyond Babel takes a contemporary look at the consequences of building physical – and ideological – walls to create division. The narrative follows two divinely linked lovers fighting to connect as authorities raise a border that tears their families apart and forces their community to confront its diverging identities.
Beyond Babel was co-created by Josh Aviner and Lyndsay Magid Aviner of Hideaway Circus and the award-winning team of Keone and Mari Madrid, who will appear in select performances.
