Our November 2021 mainstage, COMMON THREADS: INTERWOVEN PORTRAITS OF A PANDEMIC, was an interactive hybrid theatre-film-audio production that explored our community’s experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. It intentionally explored the path between the virtual and live performance worlds. Throughout the 20-21 season, pairs of our ensemble members convened story circles and created digital responses to the experience that was the pandemic up to that point. These pairs then handed their digital work off to a second pair of LFL artists, who devised a live, interactive response to the short films and audio pieces. These 6 hybrid performances premiered in a two-week run at The MeX Theater at The Kentucky Center in early November. Audiences were invited to also creatively respond to the production in a welcoming and safe space.
