Orbit (notes on the edge of forever)
Premiere at Intersection for the Arts, San Francisco
Love is more than metaphor in Orbit (notes from the edge of forever). Love is like the intractable need connected to the exploration of space—especially when the search is bent toward the hope of some ultimate encounter: that contact with somebody, out there, who knows who you are. It's as if an inner wilderness were turned inside out and projected to infinity.
—Rob Avilla, San Francisco Bay Guardian
