CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to support the world premiere of angels, written by Tara P. Nyingjè and directed by Yannis Ning. In seven loops, the play presents alternate versions of a scene featuring a woman walking into a bar, thinking out loud, and interacting with the house musician to explore themes of repetition, silence, identity, erasure, and the hunger to be seen — fully, plurally, truthfully. Two casts will alternate, each with a separate rehearsal and development process, to create alternate versions. Presented by Dreamborne Theater, the production will run from March 20 – 22, 2026, as part of ATELIER @ THEATERLAB. Details to come!
Dreamborne Theater is a New York-based nonprofit performance collective committed to developing and presenting cross-cultural performing arts rooted in dreams, myth, and memory. Through ritualistic and fantastical works, they investigate the evolving nature of identity, language, and culture — embracing the fragmented self as a space of transformation, rebirth, and fairytale. Alongside their artistic productions, they offer educational programs that empower individuals to engage with myth and ritual as creative tools for self-discovery and collective storytelling. @dreamborne_theater

Their work draws from vocal performance, physical theatre, and ensemble devising, often centering marginalized identities and hybrid aesthetics. As the founding president of Dreamborne Theater, Yannis leads the company’s vision to create mythic, memory-rooted performances that live between dream, language, and lived experience. Recent work includes Nine Shadows in Bloom, a multilingual poetic ritual of inner re-membering and layered chorus. Across all roles, Yannis is committed to building performance ecologies where contradiction breathes — and silence becomes song. @nyeong_yannis
