wrack zone … a work in progress
wrack zone is an indoor coastal naturedrag pageant, clown show, and DIY effort to unsettle time. Starring an iron-age bog body, Hulk Hogan’s ghost, Pangea-in-process, and at least one massive flock of endangered shore birds, this puny human play reckons with five billion years of the moon. Amidst 450 million years of horseshoe crabs, the tide(x2), SPF 50, and an egg salad sandwich in the sun. wrack zone messes with intertidal space/time and invites audiences into low-stakes collaboration through drawing prompts, snack eating and fabric handling. Bask in cardboard anthropomorphism and poetic semaphore. Join us to be overtaken.

UPCOMING!
wrack zone / MAY 29 at 7pm / Ars Nova, NYC
This version of ‘wrack zone’ is a one night wonder without an ensemble. We attempt universal grandeur with a cast of 2, a cello, an overhead projector and some help from you…
RECENT
‘wrack zone’ WIP / JAN 14 & 18 / The Public Theater, NYC
As part of my participation in The Public’s Devised Theater Working Group 2023-2024 cohort- I got to take a stab at a 2 night sharing of this first draft of ‘wrack zone’ supported by an 8 person ensemble of performers in naturedrag and el beh playing cello and making noises. Co-directed by Alex Torra and Andrew Neisler.
