"Wetside of the Lake" by Kismet Art Ensemble

Wetside of the Lake" is an immersive theater piece. It is a multidisciplinary experience that explores surrender, trust, and the power of dreams through rituals inspired by meditation, butoh, and somatic practices. Characters with mysterious intentions invite the audience into a state of awe and transformation, challenging societal norms and fostering deeper connections. The ensemble, with diverse backgrounds, collaborates using inclusive approaches to devise performances that push artistic boundaries.
