"Combining a Dr. Strangelove-inspired performance with a daring forum for public conversation, Unexploded Ordnances (UXO) explores ageing, anxiety, hidden desires and how to look forward when the future is uncertain."

Experimenting with new ways of making and finding joy in a pandemic, Split Britches collaborated with lighting and video designer and editor Nao Nagai, sound designer and composer Vivian Stoll, and choreographer Morgan Thorson to create a new format for performance that could be shared from a time of quarantine. Playing with the fragility of technology, particularly the unpredictability of Zoom, the team found new avenues to the classic Split Britches aesthetic of broken down theatrical conventions, exposing the self on stage.


"...not just one of the 40-year-old company’s best pieces, but among the most evocative art to emerge from the Covid era"

- Elisabeth Vincentelli, The New York Times

"Performance artist Peggy Shaw ruminates on life before and after the stroke she had in 2011, delivering a freewheeling monologue with deadpan humor and arresting honesty."

Performed by Peggy Shaw, directed by Lois Weaver, choreography by Stormy Brandenberger, music and sound design by Vivian Stoll, set and media design by Matt Delbridge, lighting by Lori E. Seid.

Virtual band members: Vivian Stoll, Terry Dame, Ellie Covan, Sharon Jane Smith, Melissa Connell, Maggie Connell, Antonia Abramova
