An Undertaking
An Undertaking is a diddy to a dirge, a compost pile of characters, a eulogy of ourselves always shifting–and a multimedia dance-theater piece from Circuitous Situationship, comprised of Emmett Wilson, Rose Luardo, and all their characters.
As undertakers it is our business to prepare for burial, and what we bury carries on underground. The arrangements have been made, like a bed once messy with little and big deaths, soiled, but planted with seedlings seeking sun while rooting down in rot.
Come shed something if not a tear or a smile while Rose and Emmett lick their psychic-plates clean and compost scraps of heartfelt wishes with soft smiles and necessary neurosis. This piece is interactive by choice- choose your own adventure to witness wonder and wit. All showings are about an hour in duration.
