Inscribed
Fiction is one of the most powerful ways that we absorb societal cues that can shape our character. How many characters do you carry with you long after, maybe even years after, you’ve finished reading their story? How do characters, often very different from us, stay vital in our bodies and experiences?
Inscribed, by Jeramy Zimmerman/CatScratch Theatre, is a dance that explores what happens when we see reality and cannot look away – when we find a truth we cannot escape. Four dancers, taking their cue from literature, enliven the library spaces. Moving from the 4th floor, through the Grand Reading Room, and into Kirk Hall, the characters journey through discovery, understanding, communication, and community. Inscribed is performed by Maura Garcia, Ilana Silverstein, Paco Vitug, and Jeramy Zimmerman, with Jon Johnson. Music by Michael Oshiver and Heather Thornton.
