Body of Knowledge, presented by ITDP,
is a non-traditional performance piece that moves across theater,
performance art, and visual art to explore ways in which memories
are embodied and transformed across time. Immersed in the
sometimes-violent, sometimes humorous, de-restoration of art, one
woman tears her way through the past by way of “forgotten”
objects and releases their stories anew. Audience members
are invited to participate on multiple levels in this experiment
that recasts relationships between materiality and memory, and
questions whether such a thing exists as a “true story.”
Rated PG-13, this performance lasts approximately 50 minutes.
Seating is limited on a first-come, first served basis with
suggested donation of $5.
