Performance | Journey Around My Bedroom: Live Interactive Theater (virtual)

Loosely inspired by a work of the same title by the 18th-century French writer Xavier de Maistre -- a peculiar travelogue conceived during six-weeks of house arrest - that transformed his confinement into a fresh perspective on his life.
