The Bushwick Starr is thrilled to present the world premiere of CABIN, the latest from Bessie nominated Sean Donovan (The Reception at HERE, House/Divided at BAM), with original compositions by Obie Award winner Heather Christian (Animal Wisdom at The Bushwick Starr, The World is Round at BAM).
Part dance, theater, and film, CABIN explores violence, the complexities of queer desire and intimacy, and the lines between biography and fiction. It follows three queer men and the creation and destruction of their relationship in a cabin in the woods. It is a story, but it is also about story itself, how story is told and how disparate forms of expression can serve in the evocation of the feelings and sensations of memory.
CABIN features Tyler Ashley, Sean Donovan and Brandon Washington Written by Sean Donovan, Directed by Sean Donovan, Choreographed by Sean Donovan, Tyler Ashley and Brandon Washington, Consulting Director: Stephen Brackett, Original Compositions by Heather Christian, Set Design by Carolyn Mraz, Sound Design by Dan Dobson, Video Design by Austin Switser, Costume Design by Wendy Yang, Lighting Design by Amanda K.
