TIRED OUT is an outdoor protean, participatory performance about isolation, connectivity, and barriers - both those within ourselves and those between us and others. These reflections culminate in communal singing and a game of "catch" between the audience and the performer. TIRED OUT originated as a response to the resurgence of hate crimes and extreme nationalism, and has developed against the backdrop of Covid-19 and its resulting social isolation. Today, the stranger/the other is a threat, but through a process of familiarization, this performance offers an opportunity to break the cycle of estrangement. TIRED OUT has an environmental element as well. Tires used in the performance are collected from local garages the week prior to the show, thus promoting both recycling and interaction with the local community.
