Architecture of Memory is a new, original work by CDE Founder Ellyzabeth Adler that explores perseverance, hope, and self-discovery. Told through film, dance, theater, and original music, this visceral performance experience aims to showcase the beauty of overcoming life’s obstacles and creating a new sense of self. The production is set up in chapters that are woven together, inspired by the Red String Theory, an ancient Chinese proverb that states,  “An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.”

Architecture of Memory is a collaboration between Executive Artistic Director Ellyzabeth Adler and Hart Ginsberg of Digital Tapestries, together they have created new films to be integrated into the performance, marking this as Adler’s first full-length work since 2017.

The cast of Architecture of Memory includes Nik Graves, Maya Paletta, Austin Rambo, Anthony Taylor, and Virginia VanLieshout. The art exhibition features work by Kennedy Freeman, Crawwlspace, and Digital Tapestries. The creative team: films by Digital Tapestries & Hart Ginsburg, written and devised by Ellyzabeth Adler, with the ensemble, and lighting design by Ruby Lowe.
