Paper Trails

Paper Trails is a shared exploration of grief through collected materials. In this show, audience members become performers as they read and enact texts and gestures drawn from real people's real losses. The language consists of letters written to loved ones, childhood stories, scripted dialogue, instructions, and gestures developed from these sources. Audience members will create the story and performance as they move through the materials. Paper Trails was created to ask audiences two questions: How do we grieve, remember, and let go? Will you sit with discomfort to face grief?
