BREAKDOWN
Quicksand, a world premier production.
Quicksand is an original theatrical adaptation of Nella Larsen’s semi-autobiographical novel of the Harlem Renaissance that tracks the journey of Helga Crane, daughter of a Danish white mother and West Indian black father, as she searches, fruitlessly, for a community of her own. Crane’s travels take her through the deep South, Denmark, and New York, eventually returning her to essentially the same place she started from – still other, still alien, still unfulfilled. The cyclical nature of this journey will be reflected in dynamic staging that illustrates the constant motion and existential unrest that comes from trying to find one’s place in the world. Quicksand was developed as part of the Access Theatre’s 2016-2017 Artist Residency program, is the recipient of grants from The Puffin Foundation, The Yip Harburg Foundation, and ART/NY, and has received a 3B residency from the IRT Theatre.
