Tinder & Ash

Premiered 2015

Tinder & Ash is an evening-length ensemble circus-theater show about the little and big deaths we experience in our lives, about losing and finding ourselves and each other, about intimacy and support, about grief and humility, about avoidance and forgiveness, and, through it all, the magnificent journey of transformation.
