How the Light Comes: The Gustavus Dance Company in Concert

Directed by Sarah Hauss, How the Light Comes explores the persistent emergence of illumination — within ourselves and in relationship to each other, as we journey from fragmentation to clarity, and from isolation to connection. Through dances that embody resilience, vulnerability, memory, and hope, our dance artists ask not only where light comes from but what it asks of us when it arrives. How the Light Comes invites us all to witness transformation in real time, to sit with the unknown, and to recognize the subtle, powerful ways light finds its way in. 

Tickets will be available online two weeks before opening night.
