INERTIA

This touching and humorous “theatrical encounter” created by New York City-based artist Drew Petersen invites the audience into an exploration of how we, in this moment, are all at the center of both our individual and communal stories—and what role art plays in it. Interactive prompts, movement, personal narrative and lush sound design are some of the techniques and elements that will transport audience members to the generative center of the artistic experience.
