Summary
With mentorship, space, and funding from the Mabou Mines/SUITE Resident Artist Program, Performance Lab 115 has spent the last five months using their unique actor-driven process to forge a new visceral translation of Bertolt Brecht's epic tale of war and responsibility.
In our stripped down, decidedly 21st century interpretation, two clowns invite us into the story where Grushe and Azdak play out their choices on a blasted post-war landscape strewn with the relics of an analog age.
