The short fiction of great Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899 - 1986) forms the core of this experimental new theatre work by the Concord Academy Theatre Company. Three stories: The Circular Ruins, The Library of Babel, and The God's Script serve as linguistic monkey bars and philosophical diving boards for the Company's movement-based performative response. An exhilarating evening of mind-bending physical and mental gymnastics about dreams & reality, memory & meaning, language & understanding, and the very nature of the Universe.
