Off-Leash Area’s newest original production, The Oldest Deer – The Longest Path – The Highest Bough, invites audiences on an imaginative journey of transformation: set at the edge of a darkly mystical forest a ghostly herd of deer emerge from another time and space to deliver an invitation to transformation. Off-Leash Area builds an immersive space of projection art and physical performance drawn from world mythology.
In this, the company’s 36th original production, Off-Leash Area combines dance, physical theater, and original music, all performed within an installation of projection art for a most creative and immersive experience. This production also continues Off-Leash Area’s partnership with Young Dance, whose mission is transforming lives through movement. The Oldest Deer – The Longest Path – The Highest Bough will continue Off-Leash Area’s long run of presenting singular, imaginative, and uncompromising performance works.
