Performance Prospectus: A complete guide to A Crack in Everything [PDF]
Choreographer Zoe Scofield and visual artist Juniper Shuey offer a surreal, visually arresting examination of the gap between cause and effect in A Crack in Everything. The evening-length work explores the enduring questions of justice posed in the Greek tragedy The Oresteia through dramatic video and costumes, atmospheric installations and lighting, and Scofield’s ritualistic movement. A Crack in Everything was made over a span of 2 years with production residencies at OtB and in Hungary, New Zealand and at the prestigious MacDowell Colony (New Hampshire).
