unedrtsdaning this… explores the often-illusory nature of human perception. Utilizing six dancers and an MC, the work weaves film, text, magic and comedy into high-powered physicality to create a sometimes stark, sometimes humorous, and continuously thought-provoking ride. unedrtsdaning this… invites the audience to blur the lines between sensory experience, illusion and representation.

"Cori Marquis, with Alexander Dones, do magicians proud with their duet of humor and deception, unedrtsdaning this smees to be esiaer tahn you mghit hvae thgouht. Amidst clean, strong dancing, tiny lights — like fireflies — appear and disappear in their hands. The lights go from clever distraction to main focus, and end up splattered on Marquis, after Dones "eats" one too many of them — silly fun." - Quinn Batson, OffOffOff
