Hunger (working title) by Radical Evolution
An experience-in-process that explores humans’ relationship to literal and spiritual/metaphorical hunger. It is a reminder to (re)connect with each other and the natural world as a means of healing ourselves and the planet. Through fable-style storytelling, we follow Red as they seek satisfaction, contentment, belonging, and connection with the world around them. In this excerpt, we will be sharing selections of text, music, and choreography, and inviting audience to co-create a participatory song and movement experience that will include everyone in the room.
By Anooj Bhandari, Janelle/jei Lawrence, Meropi Peponides, and Joya Powell

A Note on Accessibility: The Brick Theater is conveniently located off the Lorimer stop on the L train. That stop has an elevator from the street to the platform. Our theater has a driveway leading up to the door, which means you can access it directly from the street without having to go over a curb. Our front door is ADA compliant. There is a small ramp with an ADA compliant grade that leads up to the box office window and further on to the house. We are happy to reserve accessible seats for folks who need them. If you’d like to do so, or if you would like to ask further questions in advance of being in the space, or if you would like to enter in advance of our house opening (due to our seating not being assigned), please email: cameron@bricktheater.com.

Questions about Content? Posted just to the right of the box office at the Brick box, we have a detailed content warning sheet for each production. You can check this list if you so choose. We also will have clearly posted signs where you check in for any productions that use loud sounds, flashing lights, fog, or similar.
