PERFORMANCE SYNOPSIS
A theatrical collaboration between the Satori Group and musical duo The Bengsons, The Land is Always Known is a rollicking musical attempt to create a new American mythology and help reconfigure our troubled DNA. What if we consider ourselves first generation non-violent? We are refugees from a culture of violence. Our new heroine is the dam- a bridge between our violent past and present- what may happen when we let her speak?
