A two-character play, DEEP TIME focuses on solar energy and a marriage between a physicist and her spouse, suddenly set on fire within the planet's larger timeline.
DEEP TIME will be followed by brief words from Bernie Wagenblast, a voice of NYC subways, TRANSit Girl, journalist and voice actor & Benjamin Fishman, Columbia Law School, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
DEEP TIME is the third play in Filloux’s trilogy, a sustained meditation on the environmental crisis, the human beings caught inside it, and the choices that define us. (The other two plays are OLIVIA and MEDUSA.)
ABOUT THE OLIVIA TRILOGY
The Olivia Trilogy represents Catherine Filloux at her most expansive and most intimate: three plays that together constitute a sustained meditation on the environmental crisis, the human beings caught inside it, and the choices that define us. Each play stands alone; together they form a body of work unlike anything in American theater. The trilogy has drawn direct partnerships with climate organizations and advocates, making the plays as much civic events as theatrical ones.
The reading takes place Tuesday, October 6 at 7:00 pm at CPUSA, 235 West 23rd Street, 7th Floor, NYC. For reservations, please visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-olivia-project-presents-deep-time-a-new-play-by-catherine-filloux-tickets-1997720600092?aff=oddtdtcreator
