Inheritance: A Litany
Company:
Janis Brenner
"Inheritance: A Litany", Janis Brenner's multi-award-winning, interdisciplinary, one-woman show (plus surprise guest) debuts in Boston at The Dance Complex on Sunday eve, November 1st.
“Inheritance: A Litany” is a deeply intimate, yet universal, personal narrative, dance-opera-play, and comic drama created and performed by Janis Brenner. Inspired by Ms. Brenner’s late parents, the 51-minute work is a journey into the myriad of ways Ms. Brenner “became” her parents—inheriting her father’s wavy hair and sarcasm, her mother’s singing voice and fragile bones. Billed as a "personal naarative, dance-opera-play and comic drama", the autobiographical work reveals aspects of a family’s story, as well as the nature of how we become who we are. The interdisciplinary tour-de-force also uncovers what make us each unique, complicated, and fragile human beings. This show is appropriate for ages 14 and up. Q&A with Ms. Brenner after the show.
“Inheritance: A Litany reiterates that Janis Brenner is one of our most brilliant and engaging storytellers--blending the evocative and the provocative. She transfixes and transports us with a sublime fusion of musical, physical, and textual poetry." American Dance Festival - D.K. Britt, Chatham Life & Style, 2022
