Mural for “Beyond Babel”

I was asked to paint this mural for “Beyond Babel,” a critically acclaimed dance theatre show. The goal was to turn the building into a beautiful, eye-catching piece of art, while incorporating various wordplay.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, “Beyond Babel” is about the division of families, friends, and a community of people as authorities decide to build a wall between them. Two divinely linked lovers reconcile with the rising tensions of a populace cut in half. “Beyond Babel” is created by Keone & Mari Madrid and Josh & Lyndsay Aviner of Hideaway Circus.
