In 1977, an electrical blackout struck New York City. In the quiet that followed the shock, the city quickly began to roar.

Located in a concrete window well of the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center and utilizing several floors of open windows, this contemporary take on Gorky’s script leads to an examination of the violence that capitalism continues to feed within cycles of place and time.
