About This Show

Star-crossed or addicted to love? Tongue-tied or bound and gagged? Hypersensitive or utterly desensitized? Boy meets girl meets 21st century America in dependent study, the latest from Big Picture Group, Chicago’s newest multi-media theatre company.

Boy and Girl are on a collision course with media culture in this original performance piece, and the crash leaves them desperately trying to sort out the difference between love and sex, body and image, reality and virtuality. dependent study captures the everyday catastrophes of love in an expressionistic collage of poetry and prose, sound, video, music, and live performance.

Exploring the communication of love at the same time that it explores theatre as communication, dependent study promises to challenge both the traditional narratives that propel our lives and the technological and live means we use to tell them.
