DREAM FRAGMENTATION

A week after his Father passes away, Jacob dreams of him, and the time to reconcile their past begins to fade as a Tsunami wave heads right towards them.

"There’re these people in my dream world. I’ve never seen them in real life. They only exist in my dreams. Well these dream people start looking at me like . . . well, like you’re looking at me. . . .Strange, not understanding, frustrated. They’re upset with me. See my dream people are very smart, and they can sense my opinion of them -That they aren’t real . . . I mean they are just dream people, right?  . . .  but one night they circle around me and threaten me because. . . they want me to stop avoiding the patterns of my dreams with you."

HERE IS GONE

a science fiction musical

Prologue:

 

To live your entire life 
Without dreaming once?  
For dreams 
To travel 
Into another being?  
Who's sole purpose 
Is to store your dreams, 
Until your last heartbeat, 
Until the dreams you sacrificed your whole life, 
Are given back to you
In a dream world afterlife?
In 2186, it's not just possible 
It's normal
It's not just status quo
It's the law.

WHILE YOU WAIT 

Greenhouse Ensemble

West 97th Street Theater, NY, NY

Directed by Spencer Scott

 

 

A collaboration of dance, performance art and dramatic writing to explore how an emotional need of absence can create meaning.

"a homeless man holds a cup of change. He looks down at a scab on his leg. He starts yelling. He starts screaming. He's opening the scab with his own hands. If he just holds his cup up, still, staring into nothing, he ends up with 5 or 10 dollars by the end of the night, but people walking by were scared to even look.  The homeless man serves a purpose,  he risks sleeping on the streets with Zero dollars and an empty stomach, because he must serve his purpose - “Why America? Why me?”"
