The Elevator Project
I AM AN ISLAND is a surrealist dark comedy – Sarah Ruhl meets Samuel Beckett – that takes place on an island that is sinking into the sea. Our hero, May, tries to convince others of this truth, but no one will listen. And so, May resorts to a political demonstration– she will stand still, in the middle of the island, and sink into the sea herself.
I AM AN ISLAND explores the emotional impact of climate change and the struggle to know how to live when it feels out of control. After each performance, join us for talkbacks with our nonprofit partners, Dallas Sierra Club, Environment Texas, Cedar Ridge Preserve, and other local experts to discuss how we can make a tangible difference, even when it can feel overwhelming.
