Part Concert, Part Play, Part Dream, Weightless weaves together myth with evocative indie rock to tell a story of sisterhood, love, betrayal and rebirth. Inspired by the tale of Procne and Philomela from Ovid's Metamorphoses, the Kilbanes have crafted an evening of intimate storytelling infused with the raucous energy of a rock show and the imaginative spirit of raw experimental theatre.

For this show, Z Space is transforming itself into a rock and roll nightclub. The Kilbanes are curating full evenings of indie music; inviting special musical guests to perform before performances of Weightless.
Weightless is one of many productions presented with Z Space's longstanding partner, piece by piece productions. Together Z Space and piece by piece also co-produced The Bengsons' Hundred Days; and co-presented The Wooster Group's Early Shaker Spirituals and The Town Hall Affair; and Noche Flamenca/Soledad Barrio's Antigona.
The Kilbanes are a captivating voice in the Bay Area music and theater scenes. This Oakland-based, theatrical rock band is the musical experiment of Kate Kilbane and Dan Moses, a songwriting duo (who happen to be married). An early iteration of Weightless won "Best of Fringe" at the SF Fringe Festival in 2012. SF Weekly called it "One of the best shows of the year" and named Kate one of the Bay Area's 11 Theater Artists to watch in 2013. The SF Chronicle described Weightless as "an outright revelation". In addition to their work in the theater, The Kilbanes tour as a rock band and have performed at clubs and arthouses in over 20 cities across the United States.
