Title: Last Gasp WFH
Venue and Format: Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club – Live on Zoom
Innovation: In the wake of canceled performances, Split Britches were keen to maintain momentum for their new live work Last Gasp while having to “work from home.” Last Gasp WFH was developed in a site-specific Zoom format using their quarantine-home as a structural visual anchor.
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. Written and performed by Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver of Split Britches, it is a series of verbal and physical essays that playfully dances through the dangerous intersections of permanence and impermanence, interdependence and care, knowledge and experience, narcissism and echoes.
