Linfield Theatre is delighted to return to live, in-person performances for our 2021-22 season! We’ve missed you and we’ve missed the thrill that comes with gathering together to explore the human condition through art. Our season begins with Ground Zero: 2021, an original set of four performance art installations, from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18 in the Ford Hall courtyard, rain or shine. The event is free and open to the public. Audience members may arrive at any time during the afternoon, moving at their own pace and revisiting any installations. Face coverings are required for this performance.

This podcast is a conversation with the director and co-creators as they discuss their thoughts, reflections, and creative process while devising this performance.

Ground Zero: 2021 reflects on the complicated geopolitical fallout surrounding the events of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Each installation, situated in the Arts Quad on the Keck campus, will reflect on a key theme of 9/11’s rhetoric, subsequent policy and ongoing legacy: “Borders,” “State Secrets,” “Terror” and “Surveillance.” The piece is directed by guest director Justine Nakase and collectively devised and curated by Linfield students Rachel Goines, Ellie Gossett and David Gray.
