🎭 THE PROJECT This August, in-version ensemble is bringing two original productions to The Tank NYC’s 2025 LimeFest:
Vanishing 2.0 – a game/gathering/event/ritual-performance where cooking becomes memory, identity, and home. Two for One – a haunting multimedia exploration of a mother-daughter bond trapped in a spiraling web of postwar trauma.
Both pieces center themes of diaspora, memory, power, and release — unfolding through innovative forms that blur the lines between performer and audience, stage and ritual, language and silence.
We’re raising $1,000 to cover our operation cost for both shows, including rehearsal space rental, artist stipend, and general marketing costs — and we need your help to bring them to life!
🍚🥄 VANISHING 2.0 What does it mean to live within—or beyond—the entanglement of vanishing and being trapped?
Vanishing 2.0 is a game, a gathering and a ritual of strangers in a foreign land.
By cooking three dishes – be they delicious, bizarre, or reminiscent of home – we invite the audience to observe, feel, and unpack the traces left by the diaspora, hidden in countless subtle moments, guided by characters, spaces, and objects between stoves and food.
A hybrid of performance, interaction, community event and sensory theatre, this piece offers an intimate reflection on diasporic life, language, and the strange comfort of repetition.
🕷️🕸 TWO FOR ONE Will the mother ever let go? Can the daughter ever break free?
Two for One explores maternal bonds and entanglement in post-war Germany through a haunting, multi-media performance. As memories spin into an ever-growing, intertwining, spiraling spider web, the audience is invited to witness the final moment between mother and daughter.
“Women can’t master the other, but to give master to themselves.” She screams - out of pleasure, out of caprice.
