Witness a woman’s unraveling and pick a side. "SALT" is an immersive performance that enables audience members to experience a collapsing relationship through taste, sound, dance, and poetry. Directed by Mamie Green and Megan Paradowski of Volta, writers Sammy Loren and Ellington Wells reimagine Euripides’ iconic tragedy Medea, and otherworldly harpist Melissa Achten scores the piece live. The immersive atmosphere of “dark mania” will seize more than eyes and ears, as the audience will be encouraged to sample edible installations by conceptual artist and chef Heidi Ross.
Three performances: Sunday 4pm, Monday 7pm, Tuesday 7pm. (Choose your selected night when purchasing tickets.)

“Volta is passionate about creating multi-disciplinary performances that push the boundaries of contemporary dance,” say Megan Paradowski and Mamie Green, founders and directors of Volta. “By collaborating with artists across mediums, we will fully immerse audiences in this story of betrayal and revenge.”
“Eating is a way we return to our bodies, it’s essential and ritualistic, and it’s a profoundly creative act with oneself and others,” says chef and artist Heidi Ross. “I’m interested in reimagining the way people interact with food, and challenging the sacredness of the traditional gallery display and experience.”

Green and Paradowski will be joined by dancers Marirosa Crawford and Ryley Polak and actors Ellington Wells and August Gray Gall.
