Title:Point turn their hectic gaze toward beginnings and endings
in the palindromic fever dream, Never Odd or Even.
Five isolated human shapes
Pivot through time and space while
Navigating the fantastical beasts,
Dead playwrights,
Confounding mathematicians,
And earnest cowboys
They encounter and become.
Developed by residencies at
Pilot Balloon in Lawrence, Kansas and
HB Studio in New York City.
Title:Point is proud to present
Their phantasmagorical delve
Into the interiors
Of
The
