In 73 Seconds, two-time Obie Award–winning artist Jared Mezzocchi tells the true story of his relationship to his mother after learning she once worked at NASA and had been a contender for a space mission. Growing up, this chapter of her life was unknown to him. Outer space, family, and more...
our inability to cope with long-term catastrophe collide in 73 Seconds as Mezzocchi telescopes between personal grief and collective memory, probing the stories we inherit, and the ones we almost never hear.
Using analog technology from the 1980s, overhead projectors, cassette tapes, and VHS camcorders, he constructs a live documentary, blending intimate storytelling with lo-fi magic. 73 Seconds is an inventive, deeply felt new work that asks a son to assemble the truth of his own life from stories that arrived too late.
