The indication that things will bloom."

Description: In this show, the audience will be immersed in the discovery and revelation of the planet Mars. Mysterious and alien, Mars is a place that truly expresses the visceral sense of "The Unknown."

"So the thoughts that he shall think
Shall not be forms of stars, but stars,
Nor pictures pale, but Jove and Mars."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (from poem "Monadnoc")

Description: VERSE expresses the complexity and enigmatic identity of Quantum Physics. The show explores the behaviors of the smallest of nature, beyond photons and neutrons, and into a universe of the invisible and indescribable.

"Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together."
- Joan Jett
