In Each Other's Arms at Everett Stage

IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS - Premiering at Brown University's Granoff Center for the Arts September 19 & 20

Everett's In Each Other's Arms invites us to consider death as a teacher, a companion, and a mirror to life. Drawn from true and deeply personal stories, the work explores the meanings, emotions and rituals of loss that we create and carry.

Blending storytelling, dance, and a set of twenty cardboard boxes that continually transform into striking images (of a crowd, a hospital, an airport...), In Each Other’s Arms interweaves sorrow with unexpected beauty and tenderness. Where silence, avoidance, or fear often surround death, Everett opens the conversation, embracing its mystery and complexity.

In Each Other’s Arms explores ways in which death intertwines with love, and how, in facing it, we can find connection, and even joy. As Charles Bukowski reminds us: “We’re all going to die, all of us… That alone should make us love each other...”

This project is sponsored in part by the Brown Arts Institute and the Lawton Wehle Fitt '74 Artist-in-Residence Endowment. Support from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts and The City of Providence Department of Art, Culture and Tourism helped make this project possible.
