Illallisvieraita (Dinner Guests)

We all have an immense need to understand the world around us. Not only that, we also long to know what the meaning of life is. What are we really looking for, and can we find a connection to it? Where is the boundary between the visible and supernatural world?

In this AB Dance Company piece, the darkness of evening, the wind howling at every corner, and the flickering flame of a candle all set the stage for a surreal and comical dinner party, one that builds a bridge to the other side. You have been asked to sit at the table where the meal is served. Do you dare accept the invitation?
