The piece unfolds across shifting locations—a sanatorium dining room in the Alps, a ship bound for Egypt, and a country home in the Northeast—following an uprooted family shaped by loss and displacement. An accidental death reverberates through the narrative as time fractures, layering past, present, and imagined moments into a non-linear structure. Scenes overlap and repeat, creating a fluid interplay between memory and perception.

The production is created by Talking Band, a long-standing ensemble known for integrating music, text, and visual imagery. Founded by Ellen Maddow, Tina Shepard, and Paul Zimet, the company has been a central presence in New York’s avant-garde theatre scene for decades and is a resident company at La MaMa.
