America's Got Talent semi finalist Zoë Klein presents "Born, Never Asked." an acrobatic and aerial dance theater piece that addresses the complexity of international adoption and family separation. Extraordinary and captivating acrobatic and visual imagery serves as a vessel to invite conversation around loss, race, immigration, citizenship and the importance of origin. This performance work is based on personal narrative rooted in images of early ancestral body memory and is driven by the core question, how one can achieve wholeness in the face of conflicting loyalties between: lands, languages, families, cultures?

“Born, Never Asked.” was nominated for the 2019 Isadora Duncan “Izzie” Dance Award for best ensemble in San Francisco.
