Program Notes
Life is like a long hallway with a series of doors. Some doors are open and easy to travel through. Some doors are stuck, and you struggle to open them. Other doors are locked, and you need to learn the code, obtain a key, or just simply knock for them to be opened. Sometimes, a door may slam shut in your face, and other times a door you didn’t know existed will appear out of nowhere. The hallway may seem like a confusing maze, and oftentimes you may get lost. If this happens, consult your map or ask someone for guidance. Throughout your journey, you will experience inertia, trials, and periods of intense growth. If you stay on course and trust your map, you will soon find that your destination is just around the corner.
Passage was commissioned by Jennifer Bryan in 2019.
