In a theatrical landscape that often suffers from blandness and predictability, [Death of Nations Part 1] is that rare show where you never know what will happen next." --Jason Zinoman, New York Times, 9/2/04 Act One: Board a chartered bus for a tour of historical Brooklyn, as our host, Lucy Kendrick Smith, leads you through terrain both physical and metaphysical. Travel over the Williamsburg Bridge and past the Navy Yard, home to prisons and movie studios. Learn about George Washington and the Battleof Brooklyn, the Canarsee Indians that once ruled this land, the origin of consciousness, and many other little known facts. Act Two: At the WOW HAUS, our warehouse/rehearsal space in Brooklyn. Catch a glimpse of hooded prisoners chained to rooftop shingles, movie stars roaming the halls, and accountants washing bloodstained laundry. Visit our bedrooms where intimate moments are shared between nightmares. Park in our garage as it slowly fills with exhaust fumes and exhaustion. We invite you into our home, our New York, our America a country caught on the parallax between devastation and primal beauty. << Click the image to the left to view photos of the production.
