SUMMARY:Polaroid Stories by Naomi Iizuka
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Walt Jones\n\nApril 8\, 9\, 10\, 15\, 16\, 17\, 8 p
 .m.\, April 18\, 2 p.m.\n\nA visceral blend of classical mythology and rea
 l life stories told by street kids\, Naomi Iizuka’s Polaroid Stories jou
 rneys into a dangerous world where myth-making fulfills a fierce need for 
 transcendence\, where storytelling has the power to transform a reality in
  which characters’ lives are continually threatened\, devalued and effac
 ed. Not all the stories these characters tell are true\; some are lies\, w
 ild yarns\, clever deceits\, baroque fabrications. But whether or not a ho
 me-less kid invents an incredible history for himself isn’t the point\, 
 explains diarist-of-the-street Jim Grimsley.\n\nInspired in part by Ovid
 ’s Metamorphoses\, Iizuka’s Polaroid Stories takes place on an abandon
 ed pier on the outermost edge of a city\, a way stop for dreamers\, dealer
 s and desperadoes\, a no-man’s land where runaways seek camaraderie\, re
 fuge and escape. Serpentine routes from the street to the heart characteri
 ze the interactions in this spellbinding tale of young people pushed to so
 ciety’s fringe.  Informed\, as well\, by interviews with young prostitu
 tes and street kids\, Polariod Stories conveys a whirlwind of psychic dist
 urbance\, confusion and longing. Like their mythic counterparts\, these mo
 der-day mortals are engulfed by needs that burn and consume.  Their langu
 age mixes poetry and profanity\, imbuing the play with lyricism and great 
 thatrical force.\n\nContains adult language – not appropriate for youth 
 under the age of 17.\n\nClick to read the Polaroid Stories Program.\n\n
