A woman rewrites her story on stage. The only way she can release herself from her memories of a man she has loved in various stages of her life is by re-membering, re-collecting, re-writing, and performing the stories of their intertwined lives. This play explores performance as memory and memory as performance.

About the director/playwright:

Sukanya Chakrabarti is currently a fifth-year doctoral candidate at the Department of Theater and Performance Studies, Stanford University. She performed in Seneca’s ‘Oedipus’, and directed Sam Shepard’s ‘Killer’s Head’, both staged as a part of Stanford Summer Theater Festival 2011. She also directed ‘Divided Together’, staged in Stanford University in March 2012. In 2014, she directed a devised performance piece, ‘almost…home…’ collaborating with a musician, a spoken-word artist and two movement artists. ‘A Bare Stage’ is her fourth directorial project in Stanford. She has written the play, hoping to bring together elements of movement-based experimental work and devised performance along with scripted theater as diverse ways of telling a story.
