Members of the audience are invited to tell stories from their lives, then watch as we instantly enact them using movement, music and dramatic spoken word. The stories may be funny or sad, memories from long ago or yesterday. Audience and performers co-create a theater event whose subject is the life experiences of the people attending the show.
