box/truck at The Old Stone House
A transient performance in a 16-foot box truck that contemplates heritage, assimilation, and “home.”
box/truck is a transient performance within and surrounding a 16-foot box truck that contemplates heritage, assimilation, and “home.” Using the stories of her maternal grandparents’ assimilation as the children of Jewish immigrants, writer and director Adrienne Westwood, together with the ensemble (performer Ana Evans, musician Eleonore Weill, and media artist/performer Kathryn Logan), creates a portal of exploration into the (un)told stories of inheritance: the stories-behind-the-stories. A circus troupe sets up a tent and ring, an ancestor cooks soup, a child bottle-feeds baby lions, a family journeys across the ocean on a boat, a woman contemplates the moon: box/truck weaves delicate layers of movement, story, song, puppetry, and video to invite an individual-yet-collective contemplation and complication of inheritance. The work features production design by Westwood’s longtime collaborator Seth Easter, and production support by Theo Armstrong. box/truck is appropriate for all ages.
This event is hosted by The Old Stone House of Brooklyn (336 3rd St., Brooklyn, NY 11215) and will be performed adjacent to it, in the 4th St Plaza off 5th Ave at Washington Park in Park Slope.
