Audiences Are Saying
“Masterful... Effortless... Just Magnificent”
“I just found that masterful. It was like therapy for me. I didn’t know I was supposed to bring a box of tissues... It was really so moving and authentic... I loved it.”
“It felt like a theatrical mediation of storytelling and movement... I felt like I was in a dream.”
"There wasn’t a moment that I dropped out of that dream-like state that you created."
"“I marvel at the construction of the piece. There were sometimes short presentations or images of a character's life... And then... the story seemed to blossom into a bigger emotional experience."
“I liked how light the boxes felt because death can feel so heavy. It was really interesting to meditate on death with that lightness.”
About The Production
IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS - Two weekends only at Everett Stage September 26th - October 5th. All performances pay what you can.
Everett's In Each Other's Arms invites us to consider death as a teacher, a companion, and a mirror to life. Drawn from true and deeply personal stories, the work explores the meanings, emotions and rituals of loss that we create and carry.
Blending storytelling, dance, and a set of twenty cardboard boxes that continually transform into striking images (of a crowd, a hospital, an airport...), In Each Other’s Arms interweaves sorrow with unexpected beauty and tenderness. Where silence, avoidance, or fear often surround death, Everett opens the conversation, embracing its mystery and complexity.
In Each Other’s Arms explores ways in which death intertwines with love, and how, in facing it, we can find connection, and even joy. As Charles Bukowski reminds us: “We’re all going to die, all of us… That alone should make us love each other...”
