Pre-Show Performance with DJ Deaf Wish & CymaSpace
Discover the innovative work of CymaSpace and DJ Deaf Wish as they partner to create spaces and standards that are inclusive of the Deaf community, and that expand the sensory experiences of all audiences. The CymaSpace team will deploy a new pop-up art installation that aims to provide an immersive experience of sound made visible.
For DJ Deaf Wish, sign language knows no boundaries, and neither does music. Whether it’s swaying to a waltz, stepping to a marching song, or simply throwing down the hammer, this artist loves to inspire the crowd to do more, both on and off the stage.
Complimentary beer will be provided from 6:30-7 p.m. for guests in attendance.
This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Attend in person at Portland Center Stage or catch the livestream on YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch.

Nassim
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (creator of the Off-Broadway smash hit White Rabbit, Red Rabbit) comes an audacious new theatrical experiment, presented in collaboration with Boom Arts. Each night, a new, unrehearsed local performer joins the playwright on stage, while the script waits, unseen, in a sealed box... Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us.
