"You are the thesis, tranquil, pale, finite, self-contained. I am the antithesis, uneasy, contradictory, passionate, reaching out beyond myself. Now we must question whether the synthesis will be harmony between us or whether it will lead to a new impossibility we have never dreamed of."
-Novalis
Music - Antonio Vivaldi
Lighting Design - Kevin Dreyer
Costume Design - Kristin Mitchell
