PARTICULARLY MEDDLESOME ANCESTORS
By Deneen Reynolds-Knott
Directed by Kayla Amani
Produced by Lianna Rada-Hung
Performances: April 8 (3PM) & April 10 (7PM)
The jolts of inspiration you feel. That urge you wake up with that tells you the right thing to do. Do you really think it is all you? Do you think it is a god?
Particularly meddlesome ancestors use the afterworld’s taboo of whispering thoughts into their living relative’s minds, masking their controlling influence as the kin’s own intuition. When an existential deadline approaches, these whispers threaten to unravel the lives they hope to protect. A supernatural exploration of autonomy and legacy.
