Raum der vergessenen Seelen
April 24, 7:30pm
Inspired by the haunting discovery of thousands of unclaimed remains at the Oregon State Hospital, this work explores themes of memory, loss, and recognition. Created by the ensemble, Room of Forgotten Souls investigates society's relationship with mental illness and the hospital's attempts to make uniform the canisters that stored the ashes. Due to water damage, the canisters began to change in unique ways, as if the people were fighting to be recognized as individuals.
