Long Stretches of Short Time is a theatrical experience that questions. It is a ritual that summons us to a seder, the Jewish Passover feast that served as the Last Supper. It is a fever dream, an intake, a wine tasting, a hysterical frenzy, a memory, memories, and all the pieces and parts that we inherit.

The work pulls from ten years of recorded conversations between the creator and her grandmother, talking together about a buried lineage of hysteria. The revelations become a collage that blends personal narrative with the philosophical writings of Walter Benjamin and the rituals of the Passover Seder to explore sanity, survival, and how we all face all that we’ve inherited, consciously and unconsciously.
