A work-in-progress devised performance after the war chapters of Tolstoy's War and Peace, in dialogue with Erwin Piscator's production. Everyday people examine the battles, reenact moments, and play characters, asking what war is, what it feels like, why it happens, and how anyone can tell who has won. Text and direction by Jing Dong, co-created and performed by Carrie Heitman, Simon Henriques, Maddie Hopfield, Jesai Jayhmes, Pau Zabaleta Llauger, Charlie Chauca, Petra Hinds, and Alexandra Brokowski. About 90 minutes. An open rehearsal is also ticketed Friday at 1pm.
