"Unicorn in the Forest" is a haunting yet magical tale of a man who is fed up with modern life. He decides to leave everything behind to return to a quieter, simpler existence in the forest. During his journey, he encounters fantastical creatures including trees that come to life and a snaggle-toothed unicorn. The unicorn grants the man one wish which will change his life forever. It's a timeless tale that explores transcendental ideas and the age-old question of the grass being greener on the other side.

Sinergismo is a multi-disciplinary collaborative performance art ensemble comprised of professional dancers, visual artists, poets, and musicians on a mission to make innovative and inspiring art. The ensemble consistently uses humor, absurdity, playfulness, and contradictions to explore various themes and ideas brought forth by group members. The group prides itself on its use of sophisticated humor and intentional contradictions. All components of our projects/performances use a certain amount of self-sufficiency in every aspect including concept, choreography, set, sounds, props, costumes, etc.

Sinergismo was founded in 2002 by sculptor Jon Rajkovich and dancers Gretchen Jax and Jacki McCarthy while they were students at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC. Over the last 17 years, Sinergismo has grown to include over a dozen working artists and has produced more than 20 productions.
