And Suddenly a Kiss There on the Back of My Neck

Ripe Time's AND SUDDENLY A KISS... is an original, site specific movement-theatre work about gender, nature, and the memories that define us. Set in a garden surrounded by 150 year old trees, "And suddenly a kiss..." is an immersive performance and installation that travels through wooded garden "rooms," with headsets and augmented reality glasses providing the audience with an intimately translated audio-visual score. 

AND SUDDENLY A KISS, THERE ON THE BACK OF MY NECK

AND SUDDENLY A KISS... is an original, site specific movement-theatre work about gender, nature, and the memories that define us. Set in a garden surrounded by 150 year old trees, "And suddenly a kiss..." is an immersive performance and installation that travels through wooded garden "rooms," with headsets and augmented reality glasses providing the audience with an intimately translated audio-visual score.  With the surreal soundscape of a Janet Cardiff piece and the lush choreography of a Pina Bausch dance, this new multi-channel memory book offers a guided tour of the hidden forests of one woman's life. 

Created with Susan Zeeman Rogers and commissioned by People’s Light & Theatre and Longwood Gardens.

With Estelle Parsons, Paula McGonagle, Grant Neale, LeeAnne Hutchison and others.
