“Achieves extraordinary moments of humor and beauty and pure theatrical energy” -The Scotsman
From a condemned bar in post-Katrina New Orleans to the mythical South of Gone with the Wind, to a lonely gas station in Arkansas, Architecting is a multi-media road tripping requiem for modern America. Ghosts of American prejudice haunt a play, that questions whether this country has ever recovered from slavery and the Civil War. Aggressive athleticism is combined with wicked humor, video crashes against song, and at the center of it all stand humans confronting the world as it changes radically under their feet.
Running time: 150 minutes (with intermission).
PLEASE NOTE: Architecting may contain nudity.
Seating is general admission for all UTR shows at The Public. Seats are available on a first-come, first served basis. Service fees apply for phone and online orders. Latecomers are seated at the discretion of house management, so arrive early.
