Synopsis: | Would you rather be smarter or taller? If you could have one extra hour today, what would you do with it? What's the most important thing you've ever done that you didn't want to do? How much change, just change, do you think is in the pockets and bags of the people in this room? How Much is Enough explores notions of "value" in all its poetic iterationsquantitatively through our relations to money and qualitatively by asking what we hold dear. The piece itself is built entirely out of questions posed by three performers to audience members, to each other, to the universe, and then some, about how we live our lives, what plans we've made for the future and what advice we can offer one another as we attempt to create lives of value. Equal parts town hall meeting, party, guide for the perplexed&and then some, How Much is Enough gathers its greatest theatricality from the most interesting people in the theatrethose who usually sit in the dark. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Provenance of Beauty is a poetic travelogue performed on a bus touring the South Bronx. Audiences experience it as passengers, looking through the windows, listening through headphones. The neighborhood, the central character in Provenance, is one of innumerable neighborhoods across the world in a state of transition. Poet Claudia Rankine's evocative text, delivered through live and recorded performances, points out and reflects upon the landscape as the bus travels through it, without stopping, for 90 minutes. | |||||
