I Hear You and I'd Like to Respond

A circus of words, a flight to nowhere, a desperate attempt to make meaning in an unrelentingly confusing world. I Hear You and I'd Like to Respond explores the lengths we'll go to change our language rather than change ourselves.

Artists and audiences board a metaphysical flight, traveling together to a visionary place of collective imagining. A Professor and a Facilitator, both on the precipice of revelation, try in their own ways to explain the world around them, only to realize that what they're trying to communicate is nearly impossible for others to understand. But as the passengers' bodies are thrown into acrobatic flight, a certain truth is revealed: either we put aside our differences and save each other, or we fall.

With breathtaking ensemble and hand-to-hand acrobatics, captivating movement, earnest contemplations of how to do better, and a relentless soundtrack of words, performed by Almanac's largest-ever ensemble.
