Cityceased was performed on September 1st through the 30th of 2007. Thanks to everyone who made this even a huge success.
Cityceased, a performance about memory, loss and life is set in a city of the dead where people exist after they die as long as they are remembered by someone who knew them on earth. Characters try to assemble the pieces of their past, grapple with this new existence and find the ones they've loved in the city.
How do you live in a city of the dead?
