A Journal of the Plague Year
“Punishing yourself has nothing to do with taking responsibility.”
Mariko, the owner of the Trading Vessel Pago Pago cabaret, tries to manage the destructive effects of a widespread plague on her business. Around her, a woman mistakes a pile of bloodstained bandages for a chicken; a dentist diagnoses a patient with the Milky Way in the back of her mouth; and a man confined to a box employs a professional flyswatter to keep him company. As the unsettling origins of the cabaret are slowly revealed, the politics of war, disease and memory are undeniable. In translation from Japanese, this surreal and striking play is a North American premiere.
Solo Shows
The Solo Show projects are a celebrated Studio 58 end-of-term graduating tradition. Students are mentored by artist and instructor David Bloom over the course of a year and a half in creating their own one-person shows. These self-written, self-directed and self-performed solo works each feature a graduating student.
