Feel your pulse quicken as your mind enters the Insylum Center for Genetic Research.


Pay close attention for you may catch a glimpse of the future of science hidden behind the walls at the Insylum as three new genetic codes are being closely studied by a team of highly unqualified scientists. With these new DNA structures scientists may finally be able to unlock the secrets of life. XXY is among us, but be careful not to invest too much of your mind in decoding its meaning, for life's secrets can induce feelings of extreme euphoria followed by excessive indulgence...


Come experience this experiment in dance, culture, and technology as Marras, Murzynowski, and Royster push the limits in new work by Shawn Hove, Aaron Kint, and Coco Loupe April 23- April 25 @ the EMMA Lab.
