What do we throw away and what do we collect? And what do we have when we collect what’s thrown away? Told through movement and buffoonery, Dis*Card* was inspired by found objects and the Chicago streets and alleyways in which they were discovered. Through street theater, mask work, and site-specific performance, Erica Mott attempts to capture and heighten the magic, mystery and tragedy in everyday activities and interactions.
