The Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts presents this work-in-progress showing by DNAWORKS. This adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s 1909 novella “The Secret Sharer” transforms the text into a powerful multimedia performance blending dance, music, sound, text and art installation.
“The Secret Sharer,” often considered an early queer text, tells the story of a ship’s captain and a stowaway accused of murder. In DNAWORKS’s story-circle practice, audience members create the ship’s perimeter and are invited to share their own stories throughout the performance, inviting a collaborative space where audiences co-create the environment.
