In the dark times

July 17th at 7:00 PM

Co-created by Michael Fracentese and Kayla Schwab

In his “Motto”, written while in exile from Nazi Germany, Bertolt Brecht memorably asks “In the dark times, will there also be singing?” Part poetry reading  / part immersive theater, In the dark times invites performers and audiences alike to gather around a post-apocalyptic bonfire and investigate this very question. Together, we’ll transform the space into an intimate setting to tell stories, preserve memories, and establish a collective oral history to carry through the dark times ahead. 

As part of The Tank’s Darkfest/Trashfest, we aim to create zero waste in producing this show by sourcing set design and lighting elements secondhand.
