SUMMARY:The Birth/Death Project (local oral history performance)
DESCRIPTION:The only thing all humans share is that we are all born and we all die. Yet we often feel disconnected\, lonely\, or isolated in our journeys through these experiences. \nThe Birth/Death Project seeks to change that\, one story at a time\, weaving our truths together. \nA performance collage inspired by the real stories local people have shared with our project has been woven together to share with all of you. Joy\, grief\, wonder\, fear\, amazement\, mess\, glory\, hilarity\, pain\, connection. Join us in remembering what it feels like to be truly human together. \nJoin us at the public sharings of our work-in-progress performance piece! \nAll sharings are free to attend (donations accepted). \nThe 2026 phase of this project is supported in part by grants from the Conway\, Hadley\, Holyoke\, and Shelburne Cultural Councils\, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.
