Dis/Unity

I thought Dis/Unity was a fantastic show! I loved the multiple layers and levels of the experience with installations, performances, musicians, and audience involvement. 

I thought the most entertaining part of the whole experience was when we were on stage. I loved the saxophone player and the video, as well as when we looked out to the seats. The slow-moving plastic being pulled over the seats like a wave of water was very beautiful to me and was a point of view we normally do not get to see in a performance.

I thought the most informative parts of the whole experience were the two installations. Walking into a room full of balloons and strings was a beautiful sight and reminded me of childhood and happy memories. This was quickly changed when you read the notes about race that were attached to the balloons. I thought this stark contrast was very powerful. The upstairs installation was also very nice. It was less visually striking but was very shocking and informative. I thought these installations were necessary because, without them, I don't think I would’ve made the ties to the performance being about race. 

Overall, I would definitely like to experience another Dis/Unity!
