## broken (iteration III- for LIC)

- Run: December 3-5, 2026
- Price: $15-275
- Tickets: https://www.showpass.com/findlaysandsmark/

broken (iteration III) is a swan song,a funeral song, a last song, a goodbye song. The creation of this work coincided with Findlay//Sandsmark losing their venue RIMI/IMIR SceneKunst in Stavanger in 2024. As an artwork, it happened to serve as a delicate "farewell" piece for stages in general, and how they can disappear into the ether.

- Fri, Dec 04 at 07:00 PM — The Chocolate Factory Theater
- Sat, Dec 05 at 07:00 PM — The Chocolate Factory Theater
