Leaving Impossible Things Unattended

is a site and viewer specific performance project tracing the relationship between our bodies, the body politic, and the garbage we think we can leave behind.

Part call-to-action, part call-and-response, it evokes a problem and the games we struggle to play in our daily life to avoid responsibility.

You have to play, but you don’t get to make up the rules.

Co-creators Mike Dimpfl & Ginger Wagg

We are no longer booking at this time.
