UNTITLED MARS(This Title May Change)a unique collaboration among leading US and Hungarian theater artists and scientists at PERFORMANCE SPACE 122 |  |
PERFORMANCE SPACE 122 PRESENTS Taking a cue from the space industry, Jay Scheib's latest work pits hard Science against Philip K. Dick as interplanetary speculation runs amok, the indigenous population gets screwed, and a strange "anomalous" kid seems to hold all the answers. Developed at MIT with a team of Mars researchers, a mission to colonize the Red Planet is revving up for 2017. Science vs. Fiction in this new work for seven performers and a simulated Martian environment—a story about moving society to Mars and what happens once we succeed... Can't make ends meet on Earth? Consider a one-way ticket to Mars!
