You can’t put toothpaste back in the tube. You can’t remake a shattered vase. Or undo the damage that humans have inflicted on the earth. But what if you could—in just one night?

The Belgian theater collective Ontroerend Goed traffics in the unpredictable. Like its title, Are we not drawn onward to new erA unfolds as a palindrome. This striking theatrical masterwork comes to Ann Arbor following its US premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, offering an impossible chance to turn back the clock.

Join us after the Friday, January 20 performance for a Post-Performance Artist Q&A to get a glimpse into the lives and minds of the artists who bring their creativity to the stage.

Produced by Ontroerend Goed, Spectra, Kunstcentrum Vooruit, Theatre Royal Plymouth, and Richard Jordan Productions
