Performance Lab 115

Dead Letter Office

Devised by the Company

Conceived and Directed by Meiyin Wang

At the Dead Letter Office, millions of messages lie in limbo. From letters to Santa to the signals of the Voyager Space Probe, messages wait to be united with their rightful recipients. Part theatre, part dance, part sound laboratory, Performance Lab115 presents an intimate discourse on the capacity for hope and the human need for contact.

Drama of Works
Puppet Kafka

A New Play by B. Walker Sampson

Directed by Gretchen Van Lente

The piece will be a speculation on the work, life and peculiar perspective of Franz Kafka as imagined for performance by puppets. Using the complete text of The Metamorphosis as the main framework, in the closed black-box space of Gregor Samsa's bedroom, three puppet versions of Kafka are manipulated by forces from the outside.
