Tell Me What It's Called

07/25/2018

Breathing fresh, modern relevance into a play written some 420 years ago is challenging to say the least.

There’s always a space between how you and I understand something. What does that encounter look like? In the laboratory/experiment Tell Me What It’s Called, director Ximena Huizi and a dynamic group of collaborators use an image-based devising process to build, refine, reframe, distill, discard, and build again. The audience is invited to encounter the laboratory as it unfolds, informing and allowing the continuing evolution and morphing of the experiment throughout the run.
