EVERYONE WAS CHANTING YOUR NAME
45 strangers come together for 61 minutes to show us who they are, and who they could be. Part theater, part dance, part group hallucination – vivid human assembly on an epic scale. The subject is us; the time is now.
World premiere at The Invisible Dog Arts Center in Brooklyn, NY in 2013 and subsequently presented in many cities around the world, each time with a new assembly of people that re-create the process and performance.
