It is said that the rise of the Kingdom of Dahomey coincided with the European slave trade. They prepared each person for their long, dark voyage with deep magic - a forced promenade around the Tree of Forgetting to wipe all memory before loading into ships. Sometimes, you need to sleep, to dream, to survive. This dance-theater-circus ceremony is part of a cultural memory project exploring spiritual ecology and our shifting social climates across Queer, Black, Latine, and Filipino immigrant communities. It begs to ask how we can remember ourselves home, remember ourselves into rest, and most importantly into interdependence. The truth of the turning is “relationship.”

This cultural memory project explores spiritual ecology and our shifting climate across Queer, Black, Latine, Filipino and various other immigrant communities. Audiences are welcomed to cross the threshold of our intimate theater lobby to consider society's storied footprints of past, present, and future. In this space we reclaim time - stepping out of linearity to tend to our collective growth and transformation; to unearth old histories; and to discard outdated ones.

This project uses a social permaculture design framework to cultivate its wilds. Presented by an intergenerational collection of collaborating artists, our nonlinear story traverses sky, land, and sea. Stimulate your senses - look, touch, smell, and taste our living library of traditional medicines from across the globe. Enjoy the 360° show as our artists transcend tradition, exploring their mediums in new and improvised ways.

You’ll encounter the real-time mythic transformation of humans turned Landcestors and experience the blurry edges of life large and microscopic; Fractals of our feral but forgiving Earth. Come and go - enjoy the show!
