The Greenhouse Project in Nay Aug Park again warmly welcomes The Farm Arts Collective to Scranton to present a Tannis Kowalchuk original “Decompositions” at The Greenhouse Project, 200 Arthur Ave., Scranton PA.
Written and performed by Farm Arts Collective founder, Tannis Kowalchuk, the solo performance explores decomposition as a metaphor for life. Employing her devised theatre practice and life as a farmer, Decompositions is an original song-filled, multimedia performance that digs into birth, death, farming, art, decay (aging) and transformation.
Featuring a compost pile at center stage, the performance begins with excerpts from the Gertrude Stein essay, “Composition as Explanation,” providing an entry into the existential monodrama.
In this deeply personal theatrical meditation, Kowalchuk explores the composting process as analogous to the process of her own aging. Kowalchuk’s humorous and poignant stories take audiences on a journey of longing to accept mortality as elegantly as the compost does its transformation.
Written and performed by Tannis Kowalchuk, “Decompositions” is created in collaboration with director Mimi McGurl, songs by Rima Fand, beats and soundscapes by Janhavi Pakrashi, music by the Farm Arts Collective, technical director is Jess Beveridge.
