“beautiful. your show was fantastic! what a journey”

VEIL: Two Sisters, a multimedia performance project, reveals two sisters lured into a link between the earthly and heavenly realms. The sisters’ dream of connection becomes an enchanting poem within layered video imagery. and as they are offered guidance by a shifting chorus of three women.

Inspired by the Celtic notion of ‘thin places’, where heaven and earth meet, the project is continuing its development. Tibet House US presented VEIL as a projection of a performance and incorporated live performers. The ending ritual invited audience onstage, while a series of community workshops exploring a theme of forgiveness was offered with the project.

VEIL has been part of the Department of State’s Arts Envoy program, making it available to Embassies around the world.
