New York Theatre Workshop: Ritual for the End of Owing
Ritual for the End of Owing - a work-in-progress reading
How much control do we actually have over our own life story?
Written by Sharon Mashihi
Directed by Katie Brook
An artist has spent her entire career telling and retelling audiences stories about herself. All the while, in her personal life, she has lost relationship after relationship. On this night, in this theater, the artist shows up in front of her audience with a new fear: What if the next relationship to go is the one she has with them, her audience? Can she save this relationship before it's too late? Can her audience help her? What ensues is a performance about love, work, codependency, how to live a life without regret, what to do with all the regrets you've already amassed, and the central question of how much control we actually have over our own life story.
