The Space In Between

Julianna Rubio Slager’s world premiere of The Space in Between brings the novel The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis to life. The dancers tell this thought-provoking story of passengers on a bus ride between heaven and hell. Through colorful costuming and masterful athleticism, this ballet enchants the eye and mind with the possibilities in the afterlife.
