A confluence of Huck Finn narrative and pop music idolatry, “Slip River” follows a runaway orphan on his quest for freedom in a mythical land of milk, honey, and Beyonce. Incorporating dream-like soundscapes and installation, interactive dance and text, "Slip River" travels audiences through the underbelly of UT’s Payne Theater, where peril– or possibility– are just around the river’s bend.
