Alluvium Theatre is a project of Victoria Bradford Styrbicki | A House Unbuilt, staging online events and performances over Zoom over the seventeen weeks of last year’s “relay” across America. These presentations and voice dances aim to echo the “alluvium” of interactions, encounters, and observations from those 120 days spent along the Mississippi River. Over thousands of hours, a precious experience unfolded, and is now held in the body of many people, in the lives of a diverse population along the Mississippi River. We hope you will join us for any and all of these moments of reflection and reconnection.
