Polaroid Stories

In this contemporary collage of classical mythology and real life stories of street kids, Naomi Iizuka’s Polaroid Stories weaves a world where myth-making and storytelling equip the characters to transform their reality and survive a system that erases and ignores them. Polaroid Stories mixes poetry and profanity to tell a kaleidoscopic tale of young people living on the streets that asks us to contemplate the myths we create about ourselves. Directed by Eric Hoff (who recently directed at the Humana Festival at the Actors Theatre of Louisville), this production is a visceral and theatrical journey into the underbelly of street youth culture.
