Unvisited of Shores —

Eternity — is Those —”
EVERYTHING CHANGES, NOTHING IS LOST
A new dance-theatre aquarium piece by Celia Krefter and Kate Purdum
Human curiosity propels us beneath the waves. Explorers meet the dwellers of an underwater neighborhood. Tension bubbles nearly to the surface, then pops. Crabs arm wrestle. Porpoises squeak to communicate. Did you know that Jacques Cousteau used dynamite underwater? You’re in the splash zone now. Everything Changes, Nothing is Lost explores the potential for humans to adapt to ocean ecosystems, and the desire for an extraordinary life that acts as a current for each of us.

“Everything Changes, Nothing Is Lost was certainly experimental, but it was far from alienating. […] The show managed to transport the wonder of underwater life into the theater, making tangible the beauty and the urgent impermanence of the natural world.”
