KACHONK by Suz Murray
KACHONK moves loudly through the mundane grind of life, searching for tactile experience and more caffeine. Will they find their purpose? Will they blow out your ear drums?

A Jewish Exorcism by Alexandra Neuman
The four-thousand year old Jewish tradition is experiencing a profound spiritual crisis. This performance explores the phenomenon of soul-loss that is enabling many of our loved ones to justify crimes against humanity as they are committed on the world stage. Together we will use the mystical powers of Kabbalah to exorcise the destructive influences of nationalism and power-worship that are infiltrating the Jewish faith.
Creative team: Logan gabrielle Schulman

i’ll tell you where this is from by Lynn Hodeib
This piece is a multimedia absurdist clown show exploring what it means to remember and be present in the midst of ongoing genocides, enduring constant alienation. It looks at the material and immaterial remnants of the past in an abandoned archive in Beirut.
Actors: Lianne El Souki, Eric Lichtenstein, Sarah Wali

How Mr. Beast Won The Pulitzer Prize for Peace by Adrian Costa
How Mr. Beast Won The Pulitzer Prize for Peace is a live performance experiment set during a 24 hour livestream event, as we watch an aspiring streamers’ attempt to topple the king of content by achieving unilateral harmony and world peace. Inspired by a devised theatre tradition and the likes of pieces like Suzan Lori Parks’ “Watch Me Work”, as well as the Twitch style 24/7 livestream ethos and audience interaction, “How Mr Beast …” is a live theater work that imbues the capability of the internet with the monumental task of consensus building and cooperation in the digital age to confront the limitations of intense, unlimited access and digital omnipotence.
