AUTOPOIESIS

Written by Oana Leuca

Directed by Erik Andrews

Synopsis

“Autopoiesis” is a short play in absurdist fashion that raises issues of
social media addiction, beauty standards, and bullying. The action takes
place in a cabaret, where Dana, a 60-year-old dancer, is doing a
smokey-eyed tutorial on Facebook, while teaching 14-year-old Ana about the
meaning of life. Harassed by the Scale-people, the Canary-beasts, and also
by the netizens, Dana’s self-esteem problems worsen. She befriends
DontExist, a 30 year-old female writer who thinks she is inside the heart
of a giraffe. They lap-dance together, and start reflecting on love and
life, while all the other characters around them scroll on their phones or
even end up marrying their phones.

Open Roles


Actor 2 - Multiple Roles (open age/gender)


Actor 3 - Multiple Roles (open age/gender)

Logistics

There will be 1-2 rehearsals in North Collinwood or in Tremont.
