The Weavers

Premiering as part of MIT Future Fest

I’m excited to be joining the amazingly creative and talented team at MIT Theater Arts for this unique theatrical experience. The Weavers is described as a “new extended reality (XR), action film-inspired performance”.

Based on Nobel Prize winner Gerhart Hauptmann’s 1912 play, The Weavers centers a community of textile workers and their equally rattled bosses whose understanding of labor, sense of faith, and humanity is pressed to the brink by the unstoppable march of mechanization, automation, and the free-fall collapse of empathy.

The show is directed by Jay Scheib, and will be performed in building W97 at the MIT Campus from September 31 through October 3. Tickets for all four performances are free!
