Set in a post-future America where everyone speaks in a language only they can understand + are forced to communicate via the refuse of the past, a troupe of performers enact games of control and submission, re-mixing the 1974 kidnapping and brainwashing of heiress Patty Hearst by the Symbionese Liberation Army with Buchner’s 19th century expressionist classic Woyzeck. Performed in English, Spanish, French, German, and Polish.
