Believe Me Or Not (55 minutes)
AJnC Dance presents Believe Me Or Not, a dance-theater escapade! Full of wonder and whimsy, choreographer Amy Johnson brings together a society of inquisitive, wig wearing, blue collar, tea drinkers. Within this landscape this tribe will quest to find legitimacy, or at least some understanding, in the monotony of routine and expectation. In this show, as in life, it is all real and it is all false.

"The neighborhood was abuzz! What a place to get your money's worth! And anybody who was a proper dandy, a man of the world, had no need to decide where to go; he simply savored the delights platonically, from outside, as a spectacle so to speak, as harmonious cacophony, with the superior, contradictory intelligence of one who is above being disappointed in reality."
- Flametti, Hugo Ball
