At this point, we intend to present UNO Fest 2020 as planned, but have paused all ticket and pass sales. Please check back for an update on ticket sales on April 2. Read our full statement on COVID-19.

Lost Together is an offering to audiences; an act of combatting the loneliness of loss through collective sharing and reinvention. This live art performance is a conversation with one audience member at a time, who is invited to share a story of something they’ve lost: a childhood possession, a feeling, a dream—anything. As the story emerges, Shira and Michaela remake the lost object using supplies they’ve gathered, and end up with an entirely new reimagining of the artifact, which they’ll add to an ever-evolving public exhibition.
