Step into Threads of Fate an original physical theatre performance where the path twists and turns with every decision you make as in a labyrinth. It’s the intricate web of choices desires and fears that shape our lives. With every step we are pulled deeper questioning our choices yet trying to resist being oppressively controlled. Guided by the ensemble of actors you will traverse this labyrinth—one not built of walls but of thoughts and emotions in a community. McGowan’s original music composed and adapted for this production amplifies the emotional depth of the experience. 

"The work is at times theatrical in its parts sometimes classical sometimes jazz-inspired but undoubtedly a grand and beautiful artistic creation” (Paris Move). At times heart-felt playful chaotic epic or intimate the unique jazz-classical fusion twelve-piece ensemble adds a powerful voice to the creation. Each audience member will create their own unique path within shaped by a shared collective experience.
