NO BOUNDARIES: A SERIES OF GLOBAL PERFORMANCES, presented by Yale Repertory Theatre (James Bundy, Artistic Director; Victoria Nolan, Managing Director) and World Performance Project at Yale (Joseph Roach, Principal Investigator; Emily Coates, Artistic Director), announces a special preview engagement of Nameless forest, conceived and directed by Dean Moss in collaboration with Sungmyung Chun, co-produced by Gametophyte, Inc. and MAPP International Productions, March 31-April 2 at the Iseman Theater (1156 Chapel Street).
NO BOUNDARIES celebrates the diversity of voices and experiences in today's world. NO BOUNDARIES explores-and explodes-the frontiers of theatrical invention through cutting-edge, thought-provoking dance, music, and theatre. Tearing down cultural, linguistic, and geographic barriers, NO BOUNDARIES extends and enhances the educational mission of Yale University through a series of performances by artistic innovators from around the globe-right here in New Haven, right here at Yale.
