Echoes; stories in progress
Conor Kelly O'Brien returns to Deep Water, in collaboration with New Orleans-based sound designer/musician Daniel Amedee for a special outdoor performance.
Echoes is part theatre and part sound installation that uniquely incorporates wireless headset technology. This story depicts a series of lives in progress, centers memory, identity, and the beautiful (and challenging) of a community changing. Where are we heading vs and where COULD we be heading if we traveled together?
Performers include Susan Mendoza, Kyoshin Lohr, Kimmie Leff, and others.
Part of Deep Water Lab, an initiative supporting local early career artists.
Made possible in part by funding from the Sullivan County Arts and Heritage Grant.
