Journey with Jalisa through a sensory expansion of her book Daughter of a Nymph Divine into a physical world of movement, projection, and sound. This work is a living meditation on grief, pleasure, and inviting silence; and audience members are invited to take their own journey throught this space.
Note: audience members will be invited to experience the space with provided headphones.
