Dust and Ions is a 90-min concert experience rooted in Alex Wakim's original album, Dust and Ions, combined with Yara Zgheib's award-winning writing, Erika Keller's dance, Jeffrey Charles Palmer's vocals, and more to create an experience that asks you to search for beauty in a corrupted world. It'll take place on 5/6 and 5/7 at 8:00 PM at the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater in NYC, co-produced by 2500 Productions. Dust and Ions has seen sold-out runs around the country.

More about the show from Yara:

"On a July night in 2020, a comet streaked over the Earth’s northern hemisphere. Those who looked up saw something no one else would for the next 7,000 years: Dust and Ions, infinite sky-showering, shimmering stars. On an August night, that same year, the Beirut port exploded.

Hundreds killed, thousands injured, millions of hearts decimated, and every day, millions of worlds end in millions of other places,

and “we are all in the gutter,” Oscar Wilde said, “but some of us…”

choose to look up and see and love and believe in stars, and get into cars and chase after comets, and write songs and poems. Alex wrote an anthem for beauty that crosses skies, transcends borders, pandemics, wars, and the limits of our tiny lives. It’s magnificent, expansive. I just added a few verses."

A portion of proceeds are going to support the children in Lebanon via the Kid's First Association.
