A new show by Laura Ann Samuelson opening听in the ATLAS Black Box on Friday, Jan.听24, will be the first performance in the space since it was flooded by a ruptured pipe in September 2018. With a set made of plywood and steel that, aptly, resembles a construction site, Samuelson describes the performance as exploring听"the gap between the laws of physics and the mechanics of a psyche." In their听solo performance, Samuelson navigates through and around the set, creating holes that cave in as fast as they are opened. Disoriented and destabilized by the听environment,听a kind of existential crisis ensues,听and the bid to reconcile to this uncomfortable reality becomes central to Samuelson's innovative work.
