Mystery. Memory. Story.

 

As a director and artist, I have long had a preoccupation with memory in my work—both on a collective level (How do we as a society want to be remembered by future generations? How do we write our histories?) and on a personal level (How do our memories define us personally? How do we as individuals want to be remembered?)—and the work I am most interested in centers around these themes. I make theatre that asks audiences to think about their own relationship to memory and legacy, and consider how this might change how they move through the world. For me, theatre is at its core an antidote to loneliness—it brings people together to grapple with difficult questions through shared experience; it invites us to take a hard look at our shared histories, stories, and beliefs; and it ask us to pause amidst so much noise and bustle in our lives to see one another in all our complexity, mystery, grief, and joy.
