Quote Unquote: Experiments in Time-Based Text

Taking an existing text as a starting point, artists explode the concept of script and bring to life works that imbue music, film, theater, dance, interactive sculpture, and talks with the essence of the text.

Arrive a few minutes early before each performance and explore texts, videos and other materials related to Quote Unquote productions in the “Context Space” off of the Main Lobby.
