“Did You Make It?” explores the experience of finding your truth and

learning how to live by it within a culture full of prescribed truths.

There are special moments when we break-through the veil, enter a

new dimension, and are guided into an unapologetic discovery of who

we are. Through the interplay of darkness and light, and driven by a

powerful soundscape, the piece invites you to embrace your inner

strength and celebrate the freedom of self-expression. Experience

an exploration of truth and liberation where darkness reveals its own

brilliance.
