An examination of the emotional undercurrent of our spiritual lives ,the constant human effort for understanding and the intrinsic divinity of romantic love. We explore the interconnectivity of faith systems through a new form developed by Alexa Salamé, integrating movement, voice, spoken text (comprised of original work by Christopher Albrigo as well as adaptations from the works of Rumi, Coleman Barks, the Quran, the Bible, and Richard Foreman) as well as the video, set and costume designs of José Rivera, Jr.
