This show combines the internationally acclaimed, award-winning troupe of performers in KingDom Theatre with the James McGowan Ensemble (JME).

 

Step into Threads of Fate, an original physical theatre performance where the path twists and turns with every decision you make as in a labyrinth. It’s the intricate web of choices, desires, and fears that shape our lives. With every step, we are pulled deeper, questioning what lies ahead and what we leave behind. Guided by the ensemble of actors, you will traverse this labyrinth—one not built of walls, but of thoughts and emotions. 

 

McGowan’s original music composed and adapted for this production amplifies the emotional depth of the experience. "The work is at times theatrical in its parts, sometimes classical, sometimes jazz-inspired, but undoubtedly a grand and beautiful artistic creation” (Paris Move). At times heart-felt, playful, chaotic, epic, or intimate, the unique jazz-classical fusion, eleven-piece ensemble adds a powerful voice to the creation. Each audience member will create their own unique path within, shaped by a shared collective experience.
