A new devised theater performance by Marcella Murray, David Neumann, and Tei Blow of Advanced Beginner Group, Rich With History extends the ensembles’ years-long exploration of race and relationship mixed with sly humor, unexpected dances, and plantation tours.
Set somewhere between the cargo hold of a spaceship and a craft services table on a shoot, David and Marcella find themselves onstage again in a cycle that has become more ritual than accident. This time, they embody a crew setting up a shot in an imagined film, and eventually immerse themselves in a dance of multiple takes. Is it a family dramedy? A real-estate tour? A horror film? Joined by fellow crew members Julie J, Camellia Bayle-Spence & Sid Diamond, they take us on a tour of haunted spaces, ideas, and interactions, while never leaving the stage.
