A Lot to Ask a new poem of politics, love and resistance Prema’s third full-length solo work, premiered in July 2016 in Housatonic MA, delves into the personal as political on a global scale, featuring an overhead projector, shadow puppetry, storytelling, spoken word and dance. A Lot to Ask, pushes the boundaries of theatre to find out what’s truly at risk - weaving narrative through terrain as vast as neo-colonialism, immigration law, Black Lives Matter and racial division, the pollution of water bodies, and why love may be the most pragmatic gesture in reclaiming our shared humanity. Details for Touring: A Lot to Ask is highly adaptable and shifts its content and structure in relation to place, people, and time. The work is alive to global events happening in real time, as well as in terms of local issues, and the protection of local water bodies. As such, it's ideally performed as a site specific piece in re-wilding industrial or natural spaces near bodies of water. A Lot to Ask can be performed in conjunction with a ritual workshop, or speaking engagement. See more photos here. To book a site-specific, or indoor performance, please contact. |
