On Saturday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m. [nueBOX] presents Fayettenam, an exciting new work of physical theatre and solo performance by Jay Ruby.
In Fayettenam, an actor excavates the fractured mirror of the past to apprehend the roots of the neverending frontier. Fayettenam is an inquiry into personal questions of ancestry and the differing human impulses that exist in the muscle memory of the family archive. Fayettenam began as an exploration during a master course at The Workcenter of Thomas Richards and Jerzy Grotowski in Pontedera, Italy in November of 2014. It was developed further throughout 2015 and was revised further while at The Workcenter in the Winter of 2016 and 2017.
Performer/Creator- Jay Ruby Engaging in festal culture as an aspect of contemporary ritual, Jay Ruby applies modalities of theater, circus and dance to address the inequities and wounds of our times. Ruby is the founder and artistic director of The Carpetbag Brigade, a physical theatre company that travels the world presenting open air repertory performances, conducting community residencies and furthering cross-cultural research using their unique vocabulary blending acrobatic stilts, butoh dance and contact improvisation.
