Three Billion Letters is a dynamic theatrical performance happening at the intersection of art and science. Created from the teams’ personal DNA test results, the show mixes data and text to investigate how heritage defines us, taking a look into health predispositions, self worth, and biological/cultural identities.

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?
The line between us is blurred, with 99.9% similarity, the seemingly insignificant becomes so powerful in what makes us us.

We invite you to leave your trace with us!
