How do you build a house? To answer this question one woman surrenders herself, fracturing in the process and sharing all of her parts. Dispatches from her exhausted and starving body multiply and transform into an unlikely family, a bunch of small plans, and, perhaps finally, a house big enough to hold us all.
Performances took place on:
- Friday, February 5 at 8pm
- Saturday, February 6 at 8pm
- Sunday, February 7 at 5pm
Diane Exavier ’17 MFA writes, makes, thinks a lot, and laughs even more. She creates public programs, games, and experiments alongside her plays that challenge the traditional role of the audience. She invites viewers to participate in the active realization of a theater that rejects passive reception. Her work has been presented at New Urban Arts, Todo Bajo Control (Providence), West Chicago City Museum, and in New York: Bowery Poetry Club, Dixon Place, Independent Curators International, and more. Diane is a three-time recipient of the Roland Wood Fellowship for Theater Studies from Amherst College.
