About
Can we value what we don’t know? Is it possible to experience that which we cannot perceive? Can we then
touch the soul of the unknown, can we make contact with it, could we listen to it? Can we feel the texture of the
unknown? How does it move? From what direction does the unknown come from and to which direction does it
go? Can we describe the unknown as still? Is it silent or is there sound and resonance? Is the unknown within
time or is time within the unknown? To what extent does what we know contribute to the experience of the
unknown?
Proceeds from ticket sales go to fundraising for the New GoDown.
