The (unfinished) Ballad of Adam and Elena Emery is a multimedia installation and roving performance piece based on a murder story that took place in Rhode Island in the early 1990s.  It is a setting which utilizes four dancers, nine musicians, and almost a dozen rooms of the Mathewson Street United Methodist Church in downtown Providence.  It is a mobile murder ballad based on dreams and echoes, fragmented words, images, sounds, and objects inspired by this heartbreaking story.
