“As I get a little older, I realize life is perspective. And my perspective might differ from yours”
-Kendrick Lamar, The Heart Part 5

Amaa sa as n’isim, good day to you all, I hope you have been well. Welcome to this show.
What is “enough”? What is “craving”? How can we know when these phenomena are present in our lives? The extraordinary artists you are about to see have spent the last month bravely diving into these questions; how do we express this? This is less conventional than a traditional “Theatre Play”, and more in the domain of “An Expression”. We chose to call this a Fantasia because it is inherently a blend of styles, a jumbled mixture, variations on a theme. The challenge is that these things, enough and craving, are so massive that they appear in countless ways, different to each person’s life, and experiences. The artists you are about to see, embodying the spirits of people now passed on, are each here to bring and share perspective; by making space for different viewpoints on something so massive, the hope is that we define these enormous things as multifaceted; a many sided thing; a blend of components; a jumbled mixture. A Fantasia.
