Where can your memories take you? Where can your imagination take you? And where do you belong?

This new work by the Youth Ensemble celebrates the coming of age of Restless, now 20 years old. Inspired by the dancers’ memories and aspirations of both real and imagined places, Take Me There uses startling video technology and a pumping original score to reveal what happens when we can really go to the places we’ve always dreamed about.

This production is part of the Come Out Festival’s school and family program.
