“Pitkin Grove” makes no explicit political statements. But in its simmering anger — its acts of tearing apart and throwing away — it channels the weight of the world.

About the Work
Pitkin Grove is a series of overlapping solos with paralleled environments, performed on a platform stage with the audience on four sides. It cycles through worlds and characters in unexpected, surreal ways.
