Come check out brother, brother, an informal work-in-progress where Miguel Alejandro Castillo Le Maitre dives into the messy, beautiful dynamics of brotherhood. Blending movement and monologue, Miguel pulls from a mix of choreographic and theatrical practices to explore what it means to connect, clash, and come together.

Think of it as a creative experiment—throwing some pasta at the wall to see what sticks. Join us for an evening of raw, unpolished material and a peek behind the curtain at how art comes to life.
