This performance conceived as a seance is set in a declining “new town,” one of the planned suburban residential developments that emerged from economic bubble-era dreams of an affluent future and were left stranded in its aftermath. Through theatrical phenomena that bring different times, spaces, and narratives into the performance space, the work gives bodies to presences thrust outside of the “here and now.” This has the effect of superimposing the era when people believed in the future glimpsed through such communities onto our current time.
