Inheritance: A Litany
Company:
Janis Brenner & Dancers
Winner of "Best Production" at the United Solo Theatre Festival and Critics' Choice Awards, the critically-acclaimed, multi-award-winning, one-woman show (plus special guest...) "Inheritance: A Litany" is a personal narrative, dance-opera, non-linear play, and comic drama. The interdisciplinary tour-de-force that premiered Off-Broadway, honors the parent-child relationship, its psychologies, and its histories—comedic, deeply intimate, and yet also universal. The text material is based on lists Ms. Brenner began making, noting rather profoundly how she had become her parents—and how we inherit not only parts of our parent’s physical, psychological, behavioral, emotional traits, but also their objects, belongings, even thoughts and ways of being in the world, while also uncovering what make us each unique, complicated human beings.
"We need artists like Ms. Brenner now in this world.” Cynthia Darling, All About Solo, NYC.
Appropriate for Ages 14 and up.
