"Sound Shadows" - a performative poetry piece by Katia Hage (kanun) and Cindy Rinne (poetry from "Dancing Through the Fire Door" After losing her home to a fire in 2003, Rinne confronted her trauma, and her journey gave rise to a book. In this collaborative creation, words and music speak from lament to lightness as Rinne and Hage explore how recovery can become rebirth. A meditative experience of healing and transformation from loss to a place of peace and joy. The blending of poetry and music is a magical breath that stays long after the performance.
