Experience the powerful and dramatic soundscape of The Innocents.

Now the subject of an award-winning documentary film, The Innocents is social justice advocacy through performance art that cuts to the emotional core of the human experience. Using a variety of found-object and homemade instruments, electronic soundscapes and spoken texts, the work is an effort to delve deeply into the current issues surrounding the subject of wrongful imprisonment and exoneration, as well as a commitment to connect with the communities in which it is performed.
