Image description: A perspective image of long trees forming a light green canopy above. There is a large tree trunk that is split in the middle with another image of a white brick curved wall, with a white surveillance camera. This forms a sense of a path through the tree. A shadow figure walks to the right down this path. At the center standing on the path and large tree trunk is another shadowy figure facing left. Black crows fly down tracing the trees upward.
be careful with each other (so you can be dangerous together)
a world premiere by Daniel Sarah Karasik
directed by Sarah Kitz
Playwright Daniel Sarah Karasik is an organizer, award-winning writer, and author of 5 books of drama, poetry, and fiction. In their new play be careful with each other (so you can be dangerous together) they present us with a world that looks a lot like ours, but is set just a little ways off in an imagined future. In a pseudo-therapeutic setting, we watch characters in different relationships try to work out their conflicts. There is a father and a child, there is a man whose child has been killed by a youth, there are a pair of lovers, and there is a mediator.
The play kaleidoscopes transness and abolition, and explores the personal and collective transformations that are available to us all. Ultimately, the play asks us to consider what core of self persists through change, and how (and if) we can love each other, radically enough, that we do away with punishment. This play doesn’t just leave us at the precipice of ‘what if’ but tentatively steps us forward into the beginning of a future of hope.
This show, initially scheduled for April 2024, has been postponed to an as yet undetermined date.
