The performance incorporates text written and staged by Laughlin, a beautiful contemplation from renowned yogi Kate Potter set to music from cellist Dirje Childs choreographed and performed by Laughlin, and a juxtaposing live response to projected video of Laughlin as a young dancer, set to the opera aria, Caro mio ben.
