PARADISE is a queer Black mythology conceived and directed by India Davis.

When an Angel falls from a pole that connects the Infinite to a planet called PARADISE, she finds a world full of demigods whose connection to their source of power has been severed. As the Angel searches for a way to return home, her quest becomes interwoven with the demigods fight for survival in a story about homecoming and spiritual reclamation.

PARADISE is a trilogy, and was produced over three years (2106-2018). Each installment of the story was told through a full length multidisciplinary production that featured 20 + performers, acrobatic, pole and aerial dance, vogue, theater, shadow puppetry and film. PARADISE (part 1) debuted in June 2016. The second installment, PARADISE, Return to Aja was staged in June 2017, and the final production, PARADISE, Belly of the Beast, was staged in May 2018.
