Sling Dance Company
The Jung and the Westless
June 23-25, 2006
Friday & Saturday at 8:00 pm
Sunday at 7:00pm
$15
Join Sling on a psychological journey into delusion and psychotic
disorder, as they utilize images of the great American frontier
and neurology as a reflection of inner conflicts and an expression
of parts of the self that get lost along the way. The November 2005
work in progress presentation of The Jung and the Westless was a
highlight of Links Hall’s 2005 program, and Sling now return
with the completed performance. |
