This dance theatre piece is a journey to the literal gates of the afterlife, complete with check-in, visits with loved ones left behind, old souls unable to get the next stage, and coming to peace with oneself.

Blue was an important color in this piece, signifying souls in transition to the afterlife and also an accent color for the loved ones of those souls left behind. Dusty browns, worn ochres, and off-whites created the illusion of the color that had fallen from the clothing of old souls who have been stuck in the in-between for so long.
