Sept. 27 - Oct. 13: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm
Death is an immersive performance about the experience of losing a loved one. Limited to audiences of 40 individuals each evening, it aims to be an intimate celebration, a conjuring and a collective mourning for performers and audiences alike. It runs the gamut from the extremely delicate to the wildly unhinged, from the outward, culturally sanctioned rituals of mourning to the often lonely, very personal work of grieving.
Following Remains (2017), Life (2018) and most recently Memoria (2018), death culminates two years of research and performance on the topic of grief and loss. Death is a mobile performance occupying two entire floors of CounterPulse, and audience members should be prepared to move around. A nightly post-show conversation concludes each evening.
Together with FACT/SF's founder Slender-White, the performers in death are Michaela Burns, Kegan Marling, Morganne Mazeika, Catherine Newman, LizAnne Roman Roberts, Isabel Rosenstock and Amanda Whitehead. Additional collaborators include Seth Eisen as dramaturge, and Del Medoff and Darl Andrew Packard as lighting designers. Newman and Slender-White serve also as scenic designers.
