To Begin The World Over Again explores the writings of Thomas Paine and his spirited advocacy for freedom and democracy. Fusing the vision of composer Joseph C. Phillips Jr. and his ensemble Numinous, and choreographer Edisa Weeks and her company Delirious Dances, To Begin The World Over Again explores: how are freedom and democracy packaged and promoted in America, what is the promise of America that Paine so fervently believed in and wrote about, and is America living up to it?
