Event Description

Play is a devised theater piece researched, developed and created by student performers, writers and designers, through choreography, interviews with athletes and absurd exercises in endurance and teamwork. An ensemble of 12 achieves their flow states, runs relays, and describes water polo using the objects found in a student’s backpack. Sailing and tennis become metaphors for how many of us find ourselves pulled and caught between cultures for the sake of our achievements. An 8th grade Lacrosse game frames a commentary on difference, parenting and coaching. A list of superstitions becomes a choreography of possible wins; a litany of meaningless advice and a cheer for losing give us box seats on a whole new game. Led and directed by Lecturer in Theater Aaron Landsman and associated directed/choreographed by Princeton alumna Ogemdi Ude, Class of 2016.
