In his “Motto”, written while in exile from Nazi Germany, Bertolt Brecht memorably asks “In the dark times, will there also be singing?” Part poetry reading / part immersive theater, In the dark times invites performers and audiences alike to a post-apocalyptic gathering to investigate and inhabit this question. Together, we’ll transform the space into an intimate setting to tell stories, preserve memories, and establish a collective oral history to carry through the dark times now and the dark times to come.
In line with The Tank’s Darkfest/Trashfest, we aim to create zero waste in producing this show by sourcing set design and lighting elements secondhand.
