May 16—24, Future Ghost Presents:

the dance floor, the hospital room, and the kitchen table

the dance floor, the hospital room, and the kitchen table is a theatrical ritual of memory, a queer séance, and a reckoning with history that refuses to stay in the past. Blending live performance with archival audio, this intimate and electrifying work follows three queer researchers as they wade through the voices of those lost to—and those who survived—the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As they listen, dance, and debate, the archive begins to pulse around them, refusing to be forgotten. Part ghost story, part love letter, and part urgent call to remember, this performance asks: How do we honor our ghosts while also fighting for the living?

Running time: 85 minutes with no intermission.
CONTENT NOTE: This production includes references to sex and sexuality, depression and suicide, drinking and drug use, illness, death and dying, racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. There are haze, fog, and strobing lights in the performance.

Salty

Written by AJ Clauss

Salty is a play about penguins and people. It is set in one of the last remaining conservation zoos in a future gripped by catastrophes created by climate change. Animals have stopped procreating, humans suffer debilitating headaches, predators run rampant, and amidst it all, two male Adelie penguins decide to parent an egg in their small Antarctic exhibit.

Running time: 90 minutes.
CONTENT NOTE: This material contains references to death, grief, profanity, light sexual themes, and sexy penguin pauses.
