Banana Bag & Bodice Presents the World Premiere of SPACE//SPACE, 6/14-7/1

BANANA BAG & BODICE presents the World Premiere of SPACE//SPACE. Text by Jason Craig. Directed by Mallory Catlett. Previews begin June 8 at The Collapsable Hole in Williamsburg. Opening is set for June 14.

In SPACE//SPACE two brothers volunteer for a scientific experiment and then are placed in a small vessel and launched into space in the hopes that their future discovery will inform sentient beings of the human race. This ridiculous experiment -- putting living beings inside a device designed for longevity beyond human durability -- provides the ultimate setting for comedic futility and existential tragedy. One brother follows his natural course of degeneration while the other mysteriously transmogrifies into a female, allowing the two brothers to ponder an uncomfortable future generation to occupy the capsule. SPACE//SPACE explores the value of earthly dogma and social morality when earth is a distant blip and society is reduced to two.

The production team for SPACE//SPACE includes Peter Blomquist (performer/writer), Zbigniew Bzymek (video), Mallory Catlett (director/dramaturg), Jason Craig (writer/designer/performer), Miranda k Hardy (lights), Jessica Jelliffe (performer/designer/producer), Sandra Garner (associate producer), Dave Malloy (composer).
