Maria Reads a Book: Higher Eyes on Aricama is a 60-minute solo-performance with a live pianist. The story follows Ari and Cama, as their attention spans shatter into infinite altered dimensions causing their homeland Aricama, the land of practice, play, and healing, to turn into dust. Will they release themselves from their attachments or lose everything they worked for?
