The Brick
579 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211
In this matrilineal, dark humor landscape, the lonesome and forgotten search for new connective tissue, mundane chaos and ancient desires reign and the trees await a return.

On the edge of a city: Lottie the Librarian and her adoptive grandmother Tante Eunice Geld secretly live in their garden allotment. Witches sing night-time songs around the last sacred grove in the neighborhood in preparation of a death party. Teenage daughter Susi Schmidt schemes to finally join her long-lost father in America, and Mama keeps a secret that is eating her from the inside out. An ancestral forest beckons, and Dietrich, child to Mom in the Moon, attempts jazz. Choral song + pedestrian movement; performed in German, English, and Denglish.
