Weighting the Wait, World Premiere Devised Theatre

Weighting the Wait, World Premiere Devised Theatre

Open Theatre Project presents Weighting the Wait, a world premiere devised theatre performance created by Dev Luthra in collaboration with the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute. The connection between OTP and the Peace Institute began with listening: Dev Luthra facilitated a series of story circles, intimate, structured gatherings where survivors and members of the production team came together to share their experiences, their grief, and their resilience. What emerged was not a script handed down from above, but something grown from the ground up: the voices, memories, and truths of mothers and families who opened their lives to this process.

Five performers carry these stories with care and intention, reflecting them back to the room, because their story is your story, and yours is theirs.
