Performances: May 15-25, various hours
JUXTAPOSE is a theatrical assemblage set in a magical-realist tenement building. Five eccentric characters are trying to co-exist during the sixth mass extinction. The show is inspired in part by the shadow boxes of Joseph Cornell, in which isolated objects are brought together within a frame to create poetic possibilities. As humanity teeters on the edge of the frame, JUXTAPOSE offers audiences a reminder that our shared mortality, our common humanity, the ability to laugh at fear, and the limitless hope of imagination might save us from the despair of ending.
