This piece was inspired by questions and uncertainties. What is necessary to create a theatrical event? How spare can we be? How can we make a play happen entirely in the imaginations of the audience? What if people didn’t have to look at the performer? What if we stripped the story of all production values: no lighting scheme, no movement? The performer stands at a music stand and reads a story. Nothing is memorized. The lights are dim. There are no slides or images, no music.

Maybe the show happens only one night a week. Maybe the writer/performer is 75 years old. Maybe her students of many years help out.

Maybe the original idea of the story is a young girl – 12 – who lives in a building next to a zoo. Maybe the zoo is abandoned due to a virus or a war. Maybe the only animal left is a porcupine. Maybe the girl stands at her window and converses with him from dusk until dawn. And maybe she hopes that the porcupine can see that she, in fact, has quills too. Can they be compatriots?
