A smile is the same in any language, Joy is no different. How can we find joy when it feels like our world is falling apart? And why does art bring us joy? 

Veteran company member Vato Tsikurishvili and audience-favorite Maria Simpkins star in Joy - an autobiographical and interactive experience about the impact and pursuit of joy in their own lives. Performed via Zoom in rotating repertory, these two solo performances take audiences on a journey that blends physical storytelling with innovative technology.

Directed by Paata Tsikurishvili, Joy with Vato Tsikurishvili tells the story of a boy caught between two worlds - Georgia and The United States, reality and the world on stage, sadness and joy. From the fall of the Soviet Union and fleeing war-torn Georgia to overcoming personal hardships.

Joy with Maria Simpkins uses dance, poetry and deeply personal anecdotes to offer a different perspective on the pursuit of joy. With the aid of Company Director Katherine DuBois, Simpkins takes us through her childhood, from discovering ballroom dancing to finding joy in the theatre. Her story takes center stage in this visceral, interactive performance that reminds us of the importance of reclaiming our identity and what brings us joy.
