About
A story of a simple laborer trapped in a world controlled by the rich. This classic expressionist work is re-imagined as a one-man / hypermedia performance. This new bilingual translation and interpretation bring to the front the issues of immigration, class structure, and industrialism. First produced in 1922, the LIDA Project modernizes O’Neill’s text to address the modern themes of alienation in a stratified world.
