Program note
Universal human stories can be traced to the dawn of humanity and back, connecting us all with cords of indestructible thread. Stories told and retold, lived and relived, looking backward and forward from the axis of the present. While we share these fundamental truths, each of us lives a life that is uniquely our own, pearls that make up a greater whole. With our lives we make our mark in the sand, lines that eventually disappear with the tide, only to be redrawn.
