SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) - Logan Heights is now home to a unique show attracting crowds; Keone and Mari Madrid have built the show from the ground up, first converting an old boxing gym into a theatre.
Beyond Babel is about the division of families, friends, and a community of people as authorities decide to build a wall between them. The show follows two divinely linked lovers as they reconcile with the rising tensions of a populace cut in half.
The show is set to a contemporary soundtrack and features a cast of twelve elite dancers.
The production features a special immersive seating design: the orchestra sections move forwards and backwards laterally throughout the theater. Since the orchestra seat sections move, the audience experiences multiple perspectives of the performers and sets.
Beyond Babel also features large crochet backdrops, art installations, and yarn-based props created by acclaimed artist London Kaye.
