WHERE WE MEET

Kate Eberstadt

Ars Nova

#NYC Premiere, #NYC-Based Artist, #In Song

Produced by Ars Nova

Indie pop musician Kate Eberstadt is in a fight with reality and she intends to win. She’s been through a breakup. Someone she loves is gone. She keeps dreaming about an empty revolving door. Now she’s gotten really into quantum entanglement, enough to think that she understands it and maybe enough to try it. Part physics experiment, part pop concert, ​W​HERE WE MEET is a big-hearted, electrifying experience that asks how we can reach the people we’ve lost and whether a song could be enough to do it.
