Museum of Performance + Design presents Nothing is Sacred?
A Tragicomedy in 6 acts set in present day San Francisco
Written and directed by Yula Paluy
The play looks at the stories we tell ourselves and others while living precariously between digital immediacy and distance, between the homeless and the newly rich, between loneliness and love, between what seems right and what seems wrong, between disease and wellness, and, ultimately, between the sacred and the mundane.
Integrating sound, movement, and video art, with theater, live music, and ritualized consumption of food and drink, Nothing is Sacred? suspends expectations about traditional narrative structure while exploring in depth the breaking and making of meaning in our connections to the self, the body, other people, and the transcendent. At times, audience members are invited to become accomplices in this act of meaning-making.
Directed by YULA PALUY, Nothing is Sacred? involves three collaborators creating video, movement, and sound art (JAMIE LYONS, MURIEL MAFFRE, and DEREK PHILLIPS), a musician creating live scores on string bass (DAVID EWELL), a cast of nine actors/translators performing in 8 different languages (Marcel Barraza, Joe Cha, Renu Cappelli, Ariane Fehrenkamp, Daniella Furman, Ludovica Labruna, Yula Paluy, Abhay Sukumaran, Evelina Szkutnik), and two child voice actors (Marea Ewell and Elijah Paluy).
