THAT BLACK GRAVITY
6pm | Segal Theatre
THAT BLACK GRAVITY is a sound/theater performance piece in which a recent stroke victim attempts to give a business seminar but finds himself confronted by a wall of sound slowly generated by the words he can no longer produce. Inspired in part by the life of Roger Babson, who correctly predicted the 1929 stock market crash, founded several colleges, and spent his life on a quixotic mission to help mankind escape the power of gravity, THAT BLACK GRAVITY portrays a fragile effort to defy the physical, intellectual and spiritual agents of dissolution.
Written and Performed by Robert Quillen Camp
Directed by Alexis Poledouris
Additional performance by Ryan Eggensperger
