Synopsis

This play is a meditation and inquiry into the imaginary space in time between one moment and the next. It explores “negative space,” the shape and nature of the emptiness between bodies on the human canvas. What is the space between an experience and our memory of the same? To what extent is memory a recording of the past events or a reconstruction informed by our own attachments? What about the space between you and I, the measure of intimacy? How is it shaped by what we hold to be true, and what maps the borders when our beliefs diverge? And how much of our painful human history hinges on our fear of allowing space for two opposing truths in the room at the same time?

This reading will be performed in English.
