Abstract: A dozen tables, a sidewalk, lovers and philosophers and sisters and arguing married couples having coffee. Street performers of all sorts, human statues, dancers, opera singers; a world not of one plotline, one story, one narrative, but a landscape of multiple stories, myriad vivid impressions, and total pleasure. Like life. 12 to 16 actors. A note on sources: This piece was composed with the dramaturgical collaboration of Tom Damrauer, and includes texts from Robert Wood, Harry Matthews, James Joyce, Marianne Hirsch, Eugene Ionesco, Henrik Ibsen, and Anton Chekhov (translated by Constance Garnett).
