Wonder Turner is an interdisciplinary exploration of freedom and relationships. How does freedom manifest in isolation and in community? How do we encounter, interact with, and reconcile the journeys of others as they search for freedom? Drawing from poetry, folk song, butoh, and live motion-sensitive audio-visual electronics, the artists continue their multi-year-long collaboration into a 40-minute performance that traces the paths of three souls through unfamiliar worlds.

Premiered at the Chicago Jazz String Summit at the invitation of Tomeka Reid Constellation April 26, 2025 Chicago
