SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 2016 | 2 – 4 PM Socrates Sculpture Park

Ghost Card is an interactive card-game-turned-performance that will reveal storlines and movements based on the crowd-sourced personal narratives of Socrates visitors. Throughout the afternoon, a troupe of hungry ghosts will transform these tales through a platform of contemporary dance and a host of irreverent storytelling tactics. Combining movement, voice, and media to engage participants in collective meaning-making and constantly shifting perspective, Ghost Card echoes diverse and shared narratives while wrestling with the absurdity of our universal but often isolated human experience. Join artists Megan Weaver and Hassan Christopher and their team of performers for this haunting maze of surreal delights!

Performers: Alex Bianchi, Yuki Fukui, Beth Griffith, Naomi King, Katrina Leung, Skye van Rensselaer, Enzo Sariñana
