Danced by DDT’s newest company of exceptional artists with athleticism\, nuance\, and emotional depth\, Dissonance illuminates stories both personal and collective\, inviting audiences to reflect\, feel\, and find light within the darkness.  \n\n\n\nPlease Note: All Publick Playhouse tickets sales are final.
