“For years, ‘Prometheus Bound’ was my mantra: the play that toured the world, that I could (and did) perform in my sleep. After I changed radically last year as a result of a catastrophic neurological event, it surfaced as a possibility of cross mediating life and art differently.
’Unbounding [sic] Prometheus’ is an acknowledgement of theatre as the most personal communal act and my dependency on long time collaborators Alejandra Maldonado, Christopher Cancel and on the audience; an exploration of the functions of archives, of my relationship as a writer with digital technologies; a passage from sickness to disability. ”
