New York Tristate Plays ‘Addressless’
• Seeking Equity video submissions for
“Addressless.” Based on a concept by Stero AKT and Lifeboat Unit. • Production states: “’Addressless,’ by
Hungarian artist Martin Boross, speaks to this growing problem in ways that question prevailing stereotypes about housing insecurity while examining the intersections between mental health and homelessness. ‘Addressless’ is structured as an interactive theatrical game in which audiences experience firsthand the complex challenges faced by those living without a home. Audiences are asked to follow a character and make a series of decisions: Will their character sleep on the street or sleep in a hostel? Will they ask people for money or try to find work? While some decisions might earn the character money, they may also take a toll on their life expectancy and physical wellbeing. The piece is performed by four people: two actors, a homeless activist, and a social worker serving as an expert to help the audience gain insight into the lived experience of homelessness. The original piece was created to specifically speak to issues surrounding homelessness in Budapest and is being adapted for New York audiences by Boross and Script Adapter Jonathan Payne who has a great deal of experience working with unhoused communities in New York.” • Company: Rattlestick Productions.
Staff: Daniella Topol, artistic dir.; Martin Boross, dir.; Jonathan Payne, book; Tara Rubin C.S.A., casting.
