When Hash, a second-generation Puerto Rican sets out to redesign Manhattan’s infamous Dimes Square in downtown Chinatown, the future American Dream seems just within his reach. The vision is simple: a utopian playground of high rises, quality investments, and fourth wave coffee shops for future New Yorkers. What happens in one night might be impossible to come back from after a night out at karaoke to earn his clients’ respect and face himself (like really, really face himself) as he bares his soul.
Co-directed and edited (for Icelandic translation) by artist Johanna Asgeirsdottir, this collaborative play was produced for Listastofan Gallery in Reykjavik, Iceland. The children’s classic, Le Petit Prince is re-imagined for an apocalyptic version of Iceland’s capital, an unrecognizable city decimated by the effects of climate change. When a solo female scientist ventures into new territory to make the best use of her last moments alive, she meets an unlikely friend to survive the end of the world.
