"Paradox in Translation" is an expansion of my piece "Translation Studies No. 4 & 5," in which the individual words of two poems are translated into movement, creating a literal vocabulary that exactly maps to the language used in the poems. This close translation is complemented in "Paradox" by more disjointed, loose translation material that transcends the original linguistic structure and ties the work together in a dreamscape that explores the contradictions inherent in love and loss.

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

NO REFUNDS will be granted.
