You are free to wander: to take it front to back or in loops of your own making following the branches of your own brain in real time until you arrive in a place you did not expect - where the parts of you that never speak to each other begin to murmur and then to sing. To let the words lead you where your thoughts already want to go.</span></p><p></p><p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>The Stage(s) We Build </em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>is a participatory experience widening on contact and changing with each pair of eyes.
