Last Gasp WFH

A new digital performance presented by La MaMa ETC

Friday November 20 at 7 PM EST

When all of our live performances were canceled, we decided to take a breath. And when we started to exhale, we found joy experimenting with new ways of making in a pandemic. While 'working from home', we developed Last Gasp WFH in a site-specific Zoom format using our quarantine-home as a structural visual anchor. And we can't wait to share it with you!

Last Gasp WFH looks for ways we might catch our breath in these times of global uncertainty, considering our ‘last acts’, whether personal, political or environmental. We collaborated with lighting and video designer and editor Nao Nagai, sound designer and composer Vivian Stoll, and choreographer Morgan Thorson to create a new format for performance that could be shared from a time of quarantine. Playing with the fragility of technology, particularly the unpredictability of Zoom, the team found new avenues to the classic Split Britches aesthetic of broken down theatrical conventions, exposing the self on stage.
