A livestreamed play about disaster, Thoreau's 'Walden', and the conscience of the artist.

Back in 2010, Pig Iron commissioned Japanese playwright Toshiki Okada to create a new play with us. As we began to work on the piece, the earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima disaster reordered life in Japan. So Toshiki changed course - in life and in the work - and the play became a kind of autobiography. What began as an adaptation of Thoreau's 'Walden' became a sly referendum on what's at stake when an artist becomes "political."

What's at stake on the inside. Okada's writing has been called "hyper self conscious," and he's a master cartographer of everyday worries and the yearning to break free of everyday life. We always wanted to get back to this play, which premiered in 2012-2013 - and this moment of political awakening and forced isolation seemed like the ideal moment.

So we've reworked Zero Cost House for Zoom. Our first digital outing - and we think it might be better than the original! Actors in Philadelphia and New York will perform the play four times, live, from their homes. No special effects - this is a strictly analog affair. Except for the streaming platform, of course.
