Journey with us into the ancient world of Greek philosophy as we bring to life Plato's allegory of the cave from his renowned work, "Republic." Through evocative movements and passionate storytelling, our dancers will illuminate the profound themes of perception and the pursuit of truth. The story follows the plight of prisoners confined within the darkness of a cave, their reality confined to shadows dancing upon the walls. Witness their awakening as one among them dares to break free, guided by the light.


The Cave is not just a ballet—it's a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, inviting audiences to ponder the power of perception and the pursuit of truth.

The Cave can be seen across the country and in Chicago starting Spring 2025.
