| Description |
The Seattle PI says Tikka Sears work created under compulsion is a powerful exploration of the struggles of people forced to create in order to survive. Connection and alienation drive this bold visually stunning theater piece first presented at the 2007 NW New Works Festival. This multimedia theater production features innovative movement and projection. Audience members are encouraged to contribute stories by visiting www.memorywartheaterproject.com
Work created under compulsion is inspired by characters and individuals throughout history who have been forced to create/work in order to stay alive. This piece juxtaposes and interlaces the stories of border crossers, Scheherazade, a Holocaust survivor and a veteran of the Iraq War. Research was drawn from newspaper articles and NPR interview with Dina Babbitt, Internet blogs of U.S. soldiers in Iraq, video interviews with community members and the Persian tales from One Thousand and One Nights.
