ALONE TOGETHER

FREQUENCIES
“I’m telling you I miss someone I’ve never met” proclaims Aaron Collier, creator and performer of HEIST’s innovative storytelling show Frequencies. Best described as one part techno concert, one part autobiographical confessional, audiences are swept into a waking dream with Collier and his keyboards, while exploring his deep connection with family.
THE MOVEMENTS
The Movements is a high-octane theatre/dance spectacular and the economics class you never had in school. It’s a show about the global economy in the form of a 90-minute workout routine. Accompanied by a soaring musical score and multi-layered video design, four performers never quit as they transform dry data into aerobic movement before your very eyes. Covering everything from GDP and the WHO to wealth inequality and inflation, The Movements examines the mind-boggling complexity of these hot topics in a way that is accessible and endlessly engaging.
A FERRY TALE
A not so fair ferry tale.
After getting their house blown down, a group a hippy pigs decide to get away from it all and take a cruise. This is no ordinary cruise! It is filled with classic fairy tale characters and many more interesting folks. Come check out all the fun and see why you don't judge a book by its cover.
