This is a short video by the Sol Collective featuring interviews, work in progress for the show, and some footage from the opening night. The whole event was a blast and it was exciting to get the crew all back together for this rare event. The crew I’m talking about is “The Trust Your Struggle Collective formed in 2003.

Here is a post talking about the idea and theme of the show.
