Join us for a multidisciplinary performance inspired by the work of the 13th-century Persian mystic Jalal al-Din Rumi.
Blending live drawing, music, movement and text, “The Wound Where Light Enters” offers a powerful reflection on how art can help us endure rupture and the possibility of belonging.
