EXHIBITION OF VISIONS (2025)
NOVEMBER 2025
CONVERGENCE: STORIES OF DISPLACEMENT
the intersection of film, theatre, technology & the immersive experience
Exhibition of Visions is Pegasus Media Project’s annual blending of art, technology & activism. This year, we wish to explore Dallas’s stories of displacement through its vital role as a major arts city and bring the revolutionary, new form of the immersive art world to Dallas with Convergence.
In the vein of PunchDrunk’s Sleep No More, and Life & Trust, our show blends together the complex history of Dallas & stories of displaced peoples as their paths have converged in our city.
EVENT DETAILS
PMP wishes to move past the stereotypical and into the often overlooked and unserved and ask more of theater in Dallas. Bringing together a large number of visionary and transformative artists, along with engaging the community in ways that are untraditional for the standard theatergoer. Accompanied by Executive Artistic Director Ricco Fajardo, we will introduce a one-of-a-kind theater experience in Dallas: one that hasn’t been experienced in the city before.
King Of Hearts
King of Hearts: A Film Reimagined was an immersive theatrical installation that invited audiences into a reimagined 1960s Iranian film set. It is a love letter to Iranian cinema, an exploration of cultural identity, and a deeply personal tribute to memory and legacy.
This work was a direct evolution of Past Forward: AI Requiem — Bridging Time and Technology in the Performing Arts, which originally centered on emotional healing through AI technology. That earlier iteration focused on a personal dialogue between the artist and a digitally recreated version of her late father, legendary voice actor Changiz Jalilvand.
Now, the vision has expanded into a communal act of cultural remembrance. At its core is the voice of Jalilvand himself, who dubbed the lead role in the original Soltane Ghalbha, threading his voice into the collective memory of a generation. Through live theater, period aesthetics, music, and multimedia design, the audience steps into a dreamlike space where cinema and memory collapse into one.
Cine Teatro
This immersive theatre experience centers on the resilience and interconnectedness of a group of grandmothers living in Little Mexico, highlighting how proximity, ritual, and shared commerce weave their lives together. The narrative explores themes of displacement, memory, familial legacy, and the pursuit of utopiawhich is a reference to the original French colonizing inhabitants of this land, using the transformation of the Little Theatre into the Panamericano Theatre as a metaphor for shifting dreams, cultural erasure, and evolving communities. While La Llorona is present, she is one of three grandmothers, a spirit, embodying generational trauma and longing from the edges of the ensemble’s vibrant, day-to-day life.
La Reunion Collective
In La Reunion Collective, this story retells The Odyssey with Penelope as the lead, set in the present day. She anchors a wandering group of storytellers—the La Reunion Collective—who are attempting to host a film screening that ultimately fails. When they decide to film the story again, the world of the epic begins to assert itself within the space. Penelope must directly contend with the suitors, who arrive as themselves, crowding her and the collective, their presence erupting into tense confrontations and choreographed fight scenes. As conflict unfolds, Odysseus moves through the rooms like a ghost, watching from the edges, unseen and silent, while Penelope remains at the center, navigating pressure, violence, and expectation as the story closes in around her.
