THEATRIKOS PRESENTS “CONVERGENCE”
Written by Seth Muller

Synopsis: A young woman named Mara finds herself drawn deeply into the spiritual teachings of a man who calls himself Taalius. Feeling lost and vacant in her own life, Mara signs on for one of Taalius’s intensive, ten-day refuges called “Unveiling Enlightenment.” During this experience, Mara is pressed to her physical and mental limits. Although social interactions outside of the teachings are forbidden, Mara meets secretly with two other women—each drawn to the difficult spiritual quest for their own reasons. When the retreat takes a dark and deadly turn, Mara struggles with the aftermath. With echoes of the 2009 Sedona sweat lodge deaths, the play explores zealotry, blind submission, and the human hunger for meaning.
