On April 25 and 26, Art @ Tongva presents work by Artistic Director Annie Saunders and her company Wilderness. Wilderness push the envelope of the traditional theatre-going experience. Inspired by unexplored and uninhabited spaces, they create experiential and interdisciplinary theatrical events that disrupt the boundaries between observer and observed. This live immersive experience will activate the intimate “rooms” of Tongva Park for two nights only. This is a free event.
Leaves of Grass is a text and movement work, originally created with Sarah Corman of Frantic Assembly. The piece examines how we as couples grow to become alike, what that means about the insularity of the self, and how this phenomenon of similarity affects our relationships. On Paper is a durational and intimate duet that examines domestic relationships through movement, music and recorded sound. Both works are newly revised and staged for the landscape of Tongva Park.
Audiences are invited to find their way freely through the space, encountering at different moments each performance.
