WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Inspired by a 13th century Chinese story, Soul Leaves Her Body is an original work of movement, text and video that explores the soul-body relationship in today's wired culture. The story follows a young woman who rips her soul from her body to pursue her destiny in the city. Her journey is depicted in a highly choreographed work unfolding live onstage through film, dance theater, video and foley sound. International artists unite with geeks and historians to construct a multi-channel
film onstage that surveys the impact of distance and electronic communication on modern life, love,
and family.

At it's best -- such as when a woman being chased happens upon her old building and gets buzzed in just as the image disappears, and suddenly, we find her standing before us on stage -- the show touches on the potential for an exciting relationship between[...]
