ACAP FALL CONFERENCE

SAVE THE DATE: CONSTELLATIONS

Join us for an unforgettable evening at our upcoming conference, Constellations, where the play will be performed live, followed by a thought-provoking discussion exploring the deeper psychological layers of the story. Through the lens of motivations, memory, and the unconscious, our discussions will unpack the emotional and philosophical complexities that drive the characters and ourselves across infinite timelines. This event offers a rare opportunity to engage with both the artistic and psychoanalytic dimensions of the play, inviting audiences to reflect on the choices we make—and the ones we might have made—in the ever-shifting landscape of human connection.

November 1, 2025 @ 1pm
