There’s Nothing You Can Do

There’s Nothing You Can Do, the first play of the “Saturn’s Return” Triptych, is an exhaustion piece that reimagines the famous dance epidemic of 1518; set in the modern day, it explores a collective quarter-life crisis between a group of recently reconnected friends through both text and movement.
