Three Billion Letters is a theatrical research process where a group of artists use their DNA results as a starting point to develop a new performance for the stage, taking a deeper look into their biological and cultural identities, past and future. How does knowing one's DNA influence our current reality and the path forward as we continue to build a sense of our existence? Could we change the way we see ourselves in relationship with the world around us? Could our DNA results allow us to better understand the past and envision the future?”
