Collaborators Robbie Saenz de Viteri and Monica Bill Barnes make performances that combine their shared interest in the underlying comedy at work in our lives and create shows that strive to find something sacred in the mundane, crossing genres between dance, theater, storytelling, creative nonfiction, feminist treatises, and comedy. Drawing from these many influences, they will explore the idea of what it means to gather now.
