Presented at Cannonball Festival 2024 Philadelphia with Noah Julian

Runtime: 40 minutes

Where There is Hope, There is Light… is a reflective ceremony on rituals and their connection with the human condition.

How ritual acts provide a sense of foundation, significance, and trust in the all-too-familiar moments of uncertainty.
How the vicarious ritual of collective gathering that is being an audience member provides an occasion for connection, inspiration, and revelation.
Accompanied by violinist, Noah Julian, this collaborative duet merges hypnotic melodies, mesmerizing acrobatics, and symbolic rites. Unfolding qualities of repetition & mystery, hope & despair, light & void, in the pursuit of identity, resolution, and transcendence.

"Where there is death, there is a spark.
Where there is a spark, there is a beginning.
Where there is a beginning, there is a lack.
Where there is a lack, there is despair.
Where there is despair, there is ritual.
Where there is Ritual, there is a gathering.
Where there is gathering, there is momentum.
Where there is momentum, there is energy.
Where there is energy, there is hope.
Where there is hope, there is light"
