On The Island at Jump Start

Marian Haddad sends this notice on an upcoming performance at Jump Start:

Performances October 12 – 21 Friday - Sunday at 8 p.m.
Written and performed by S. T. Shimi

On the Island is the uncomfortably timely tale of an artist imprisoned without trial in a mysterious prison. The story switches between her surreal, poignant memories and the paranoid reality of her internment. What will become of her, and more importantly, will anyone care?

Directed by Steve Bailey, with lighting by Billy Muñoz, an original sound score composed by Paul Harford and aerial choreography in collaboration with Nimble Arts. On the Island was presented in its workshop form at the first National Asian-American Theatre Festival in June 2007. “Her grace in the air and on the ground coupled with stunning lighting by Billy Munoz tells an entire story through poignant images and thrilling acrobatics.” (nytheatre.com review)
