Carry Your Burdens
Carry your Burdens is a performance that engages in empathy through endurance, metaphor, and performance. Traversing Manhattan from west to east in the morning Cappelletti, Ã…m and Perotta perform at nine destination points, landmarks where a personal burden was shared. At dusk they return to the Hudson River carrying one another and the burdens they have embodied. When the performers encounter another person bearing a burden, they stop to feel, see, and describe it. The duets transcend elements of physical fatigue but also the emotional exhaustion of carrying the burdens of 14th Street. Expanding the map into performance, burdens are lifted.
October 1-10. Two performances each day, one from 7-9am and the second from 7-9pm.
Sunrise performances start at The Highline Park and end at Avenue B. The sunset performances start at Avenue B and end at the Highline Park.
