The School of Creative and Performing Arts and W&M Physical Theatre present When Language Fails, a new dance theatre work by Wojciech Mochniej in collaboration with Melissa Monteros.

 Comprised of three sections, a series of life phases or portraits, it poses the question of boundaries between “I” and “we”. The work explores how waves of politically and socially defined identity can warp and distort the deep self.

Featuring Sierra Oszust, Nicole Charlton Goodbrand and Jared Tobias Herring, and with powerhouse artists Marie France Forcier and Wojciech Mochniej in the closing duet, this latest work from W&M Physical Theatre reveals three human stories that move between the expressed and suppressed, the civilized and the wild.
