2. E.G.G., a new play by Emile Aslan Lacheny

Elevating theatrical works by immigrant and minority artists, Between Us Theatre Co. presents E.G.G., a new play by acclaimed Franco-Turkish playwright Emile Aslan Lacheny about the human spirit and the impossible future of humanity. Four survivors of a post-apocalyptic world might have encountered the next steps of human evolution as they are held captive to their most primal instincts. Plunged into an inescapable world where humanity is pushed to its absolute limits and every instinct is laid bare, E.G.G. provocatively explores identity, morality, survival and the duality of human nature. Do we embrace our most civilized selves, or do we succumb to the treacherous impulses that lie beneath the surface? Minimalist yet captivating, E.G.G. haunts with its compelling narrative, rich characters, and thought-provoking themes.

Moshe Henderson (Velvet Rage, A Foray in Innocence, Spring Awakening) directs a cast of 13, including Pete Almaraz, Francesca Bolam, Zaria Bunn, Zachary Canter, KiYonna Carr, Amelia Dobbs, Annie Kefalas, Emile Lacheny, Kennedy Maxwell, Christopher Michael, Sadie Pillion-Gardner, Bruna Sampaio, and Valentine Smith-Vaniz.

“E.G.G. is not just a play; it’s an exploration of the human condition when stripped of all pretense,” said Lacheny. “I aim to challenge the audience to reflect on their own responses in moments of crisis, questioning what truly defines us.”

The runtime is 90 minutes with no intermission.
