SHIPPING & HANDLING
By Star Finch
Directed by Lisa Marie Rollins and Leigh Rondon-Davis
August 8 - September 7, 2024
Shipping & Handling is a theatrical experience constructed as a night out at the theatre told in reverse. The playwright shuffles chronology in order to scramble our historical expectations around Black plays, and unmap our limited vision of a future AI world. Are creations always a reflection of their creator? Can an AI bear witness to divine prophecy? Shipping & Handling seeks to transmit a signal for locating the tone of what it means to be human in this specific moment, and collectively reimagine our future design.
A revolutionary world premiere from Crowded Fire & Campo Santo's Playwright In Residence, Star Finch, Shipping & Handling explores how our humanity will be measured within the soon to be robotic-reality. As an audience member, you'll start at a moment in time and move back; from an afterparty with actors, to a playwright's experimental talkback, to the performance of the play you've been hearing all about, a surreal and beautiful future vision from a Black Feminine gaze.
