Saturday, September 29, 2012 - 4:30pm

The People to Come had its preview performance after a week-long production residency at the Marlboro Town House in VT. The performance was a culmination of a canary torsi's 2012 VPL Lab Residency which started in March 2012 with the group's visit and attendance at Marlboro's Town Meeting at the Town House. Many thanks to the audiences in Marlboro: the generosity and the democractic spirit of this town was hugely inspiring to this work.

Due to technical difficulties, the first three performances at VPL were not captured and the fourth performance was only partially captured. We regret not being able to share those performances here online. The final six performances were fully captured. This performance was made possible in part by the Expeditions program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support from the six New England state arts agencies.
