Paper Trails by Jae Gonzales (Theatre & Performance)

Paper Trails is a shared exploration of grief through gathered sources. In this show, audience members become the performers as they read and enact texts and gestures drawn from the creative team. The language consists of letters written to loved ones, childhood stories, scripted dialogue, instructions, and physical gestures developed from these sources. Audience members will create the story and performance as they move through the materials. Paper Trails was created to ask audiences two questions: How do we grieve, remember, and let go? and, What will you risk for togetherness?

This performance contains audience interaction and participation; discussions of grief, death, and loss; discussion and description of self-harm; discussion and description of sexual assault; light haze; and bright lights.
