Johanna Tengan Seeing in the Dark 2025

20-25 min, spoken word, movement poetry

In this performance Johanna Tengan explores our collective shadow and how we have learned to suppress the darkness within us. Is there a possibility for seeing in the dark? Perhaps there is a possibility for embrace, for being able to surrender to the totality of what we are and seeing beauty in the dark. She explores the possibility of wholeness and the notion that we have both the light and dark within us. Through the use of spoken word, dance and music Johanna invites the audience into her musings on the state of the world and our humanity right now.
