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?

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.

A ‘garden’ is grown in the Voxel! Part installation, part performance, FALLOPIA is an immersive garden experience where Plants are actors and the Garden a chorus. Questioning the human campaigns for and against particular vegetal species, FALLOPIA uses The Theater to deepen our understanding of, relationship with and empathy for Plants commonly dismissed as ‘weeds’, and asks, what is a garden?
