Properties of Silence - A concert reading of About...Productions' critically acclaimed drama, presented as part of the Pasadena Arts Council's AxS Festival 2014 in advance of a fully mounted revival set for 2015.

Poetry, science and history spiral out of control as a contemporary Phoenix realtor, her pool contractor husband and the famed 17th century poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz meet in a multi-layered dreamscape.

Reality bends as they all confront the nature of their identities and seek a new beginning.
