The Half Life

Southern Theater
1420 Washington Ave S Minneapolis

Humans today have a compulsive desire to be connected to everyone at all times, a phenomenon explored with bristling physicality in the new performance piece, The Half Life. It's another hard-hitting production by Minneapolis theater company Live Action Set, known for viscerally immersive works as riveting as they are unsettling. The Half Life explores an in-between realm many of us find ourselves in, in which the tools of modern communication offer diminishing returns, and where time and memory feel like a disappearing act, vanishing one half of one half of one half at a time. Ranging from nuanced to extreme, Live Action Set's highly trained dancers explore this existential void with precision and intensity at the Southern Theater.
