Post Show Q&A following the Friday performance

In Ōta Shōgo’s The Water Station, a series of travelers encounter a tap of running water, and sometimes each other, in the course of their migration journeys. This production has no dialogue but according to Ōta Shōgo, “there are words here … you just can’t hear them”. The Water Station navigates the loss of identity and purpose. We see similar tropes in our lives during these times which have brought personal migrations along with many rearrangements of self and community.
