This solo-performance investigates the vibration of energy that resounds across generations and connects us all to one another in a united experience. Through the lens of one man tracing his ancestry back as far as he can, we begin to explore the emotional, linguistic, and cultural vibrations that began in the Big Bang and reverberated their way into the present body. "We" is a hybrid of auto-ethnotheatre and lecture with traces of cabaret that seeks to embody deep presence in order to perform the past. Using ritualistic storytelling, "We" seeks to bridge the gaps that divide us and destroy the barriers we hold within ourselves in order to create deeper connection with the community around us. "We" posits that we are vibration; we are not property lines.
