Make Thee an Ark, 2021
Co-writer, co-producer, technical director and designer, and assoc. directorMarie Selby Gardens Historic Spanish Point Campus, Osprey, FL
Set in a chapel, on a new Ark, floating above an undersea Florida, 300 years in the future, Make Thee an Ark poses the question: what will they remember? And what stories will they tell?
Through speculative fiction, centuries old archival materials, immersive performance, and puppetry, this performance asks the audience how we might serve as the prophetic ancestors for those who will inherit a world unmade by climate catastrophe.
Starring Raychel Ceciro, Casey Murphy, and Eugenia Titterington.
All photography captured by Sorcha Augustine.
