Hart Island

Over 1 million bodies are buried on Hart Island in New York City’s East River. The poor, the unclaimed, and the unknown are laid to rest in rudimentary pine boxes and unmarked graves.

The Motion

How do we value a meaningful life? What does it mean to be human? This fiercely intelligent play takes us on a visceral exploration and collective examination of these questions.

Words We Believe

Today.
When 17-year-old Fitri goes missing, her best friend Ayan goes looking for the truth of how and why she disappeared.
