KINDRED SOULS
KINDRED SOULS
Kindred Souls is a long-form improv show about our two souls
who reunite across multiple lifetimes, in different eras,
in various forms and relationships.
Inspired by Mircea Eliade’s themes of fate and reincarnation, each performance explores love, conflict, and destiny in unpredictable ways.
Whithin beautiful dynamics, humor, absurdity and truthfulness alternates.
With audience suggestions, we create a unique, unscripted journey where one thing is certain—our souls will always meet again.
Will they recognize eachother in these parallel universes?
