SPPP returns to The Garage at Dovetail Studios
Things Hidden and Left Unsaid is a contemporary dance piece that entertains ideas of silence, regret and sometimes rage; experiences one might have when essential words and conversations are never said. Looking backwards, THLU questions the instance silence was chosen over courage and the moments one wishes one could undo or re-do. Like an interrupted dream, there are no chances recreate or re-work, it just exists and then slips away.
Show Dates: 11/4 & 5 @ 7:30pm and 11/6 @ 5:30pm
