"I Couldn't Tell You Why" is a newly commissioned multimedia piece. This piece explores how micro abuses can have a ripple effect over a lifetime and manifest in behavior that perpetuates that initial trauma. The audience is given a direct channel to the inner workings of Casey's mind as he realizes his memories of love and abuse are inextricably tied while also unreliably remembered. Our Theatre Company is building an audio immersive performance. 'I Couldn't Tell You Why' will be pre-recorded as a fully curated audio-play by separate voiceover actors which will serve as an intricate accompaniment to the live movement-based performance, which will take place on a permitted street/location in New York City. Audience members and performers will be given silent disco headphones through which the audio play will be broadcast. Then the performers will present a fully-physical, movement-based interpretation of the audio play outdoors over the course of two weekends, for a total of four performances. Rehearsals will be in-person and will take place in outdoor spaces throughout New York. Performers will be asked to adhere with the Refracted Theatre Company Covid-19 Safety Protocol, which includes obligations surrounding testing, temperature checks, and PPE.
