We begin in a white space, filled with possibilities. The poet on the stage invites the audience into her imagination with “I dwell in possibility–,” enhanced by projections evoking her limitless creativity. Throughout the experience we combine music, projections and dance into a world of a streaming consciousness, as we step into the mind of one of America’s greatest literary minds–Emily Dickinson.  

Emily Dickinson is considered one of the most important voices in American literature, yet during her lifetime only about 10 of her nearly 1,800 poems were published anonymously and often heavily edited. Writing in quiet isolation in Amherst, Massachusetts, Dickinson created deeply personal and groundbreaking poetry that explored death, love, nature, faith, and the inner life with a voice unlike any other of her time. Her work challenged the conventions of 19th century poetry and helped redefine what American poetry could be, inspiring generations of writers and readers long after her death.
