Inside the Pillow Lab: slowdanger 🎬

In this Pillow Lab residency in the new Doris Duke Theatre, slowdanger developed "STORY BALLET," a piece featuring an intergenerational cast, holographic projections, and live sound.

The work reimagines Hector Berlioz’s 1830 Symphonie Fantastique and explores mental health, escapism, and the question: what holds us together?

The work "STORY BALLET" is also made possible by the generous support of the Eisemann Edge Initiative.
