Submersive Productions will premiere See Also, a site-specific, immersive theater experience exploring Johns Hopkins University's George Peabody Library and other Hopkins library and museum collections. The production is inspired by a?oesee alsoa?? references, a traditional library cataloging practice that links different terms on catalog cards. The simple phrase a?oesee alsoa?? suggests many ideas: from a need to classify the world around us and an inclination to abandon one topic of research for another, to an evolving, feminist understanding of truth that makes space for many voices simultaneously.
