About this Event

Free Street Theater presents through the In/House Artist Residency:

Rupture/Repair

concept + direction by Tanuja Jagernauth

devised by and with Marilyn Carteno, Kirsten Baity, and Marya Spont-Lemus

About the Show:

At a time when conflict and division seems ever present, Free Street In/House artist Tanuja Jagernauth invites audiences into a one-of-a-kind theatrical exploration of conflict resolution. Co-created with ensemble members Marilyn Carteno, Kirsten Baity, Marya Spont-Lemus, CJ Willette and Liz Haas, and made in partnership with F.L.Y. Radical Therapy, R&R is not the answer to how to do conflict “right,” but rather a study in curiosity. How can we learn to not fear conflict? What tools can we develop towards repair?

Over 70 minutes audiences will witness the stories of three different conflicts told through puppetry, movement and text.

Ticket Prices

Free Street believes theatre is for everyone, and therefore the price should be accessible to all. All tickets are general admission, but audience members can pick their price + add a donation to Free Street, which goes towards paying all of our artist an equitable wage, and supports our mission to bring Chicago stories to all Chicagoans.

We reserve a small batch of tickets available for PWYC/free at the door for each performance.


About Free Street:

Free Street is a 57 year old organization, working at the intersections of theatre, arts, culture and social justice. As a femme-led collective, we create theatre that centers the health & wellbeing of the south & west sides, focusing on projects led by and centering Black, Latine, LGBTQIA+, youth, immigrant, and Chicago artists. Always pay-what-you-can, always Chicago, since 1969.
