Onstage is a two-story house. From one angle, it鈥檚 mucked out after a flood. From another, it鈥檚 a new development wrapped in Tyvek. And from another, it鈥檚 鈥淭ara鈥� from Gone with the Wind being transformed into an Airbnb. The piano can鈥檛 be tuned. Someone is quilting in the corner. Come in.
Co-written by 21 Black-, POC-, and white-identifying artists ranging in age from 29 to 99, RECONSTRUCTING is a new work by internationally-renowned theater collective the TEAM that wrestles with how, in the aftermath of slavery, we might move through history together. Propelled by a quilt-like score, this 鈥渃omplex and combustible project鈥� (Sarah Holdren, Vulture) slips between fact and fiction and performance and ritual to tell a story of historical figures and fictional characters seeking and fleeing intimacy鈥攁nd us as makers doing the same.
