The White Album at Freud Playhouse

The White Album is a multimedia performance that uses Joan Didion's seminal essay to apply a uniquely inventive approach to the intersection between observation, storytelling, audience participation, choreography and architecture. Obie Award-winning actress Mia Barron delivers the essay in its entirety, while behind her a parallel performance unfolds. The essay's legendary first line -- "We tell ourselves stories in order to live" -- provokes the project's double-edged embarkation, challenging us to look critically at the past and to define new paths forward.
