Because You Never Asked is a conversation, an intergenerational exchange, that reaches back through memory, time and the subconscious mind. Exploring themes of self-discovery, displacement, unresolved loss, and the complexity of family histories.

"In a time when artists are searching to create work with the potential to affect social and political change, this arresting new creation probes memory in an abstraction that leaves plenty of room for audiences to dive deeply into their own histories."
-Philip Szporer, The Dance Current
