SIDE B: Kai Rosales, Joseph Pharr, and Matthew Katterhagen.
Jarid sits down with the cast and playwright of HIGH-RISE (2021) to continue discussing the art and aftermath of J.G. Ballard, their own artistic practices, and recent experiences of the still-reeling theater industry. Mythic afterimages of social decline, the fate of the billionaires, a new musical, an evolutionary Ouroboros, a woman on the shore, and the sound of birdsong over video-chat.
Featuring a performance of Shakespeare's 102nd sonnet by Joseph and Kai. Passages read from the 1975 novel.
