grover flow
An original play by Robin Bean Crane
Groverflow brings you into the question - how can we undam the flow?
The play emerged from playwright Robin Crane’s exploration of their cancer diagnosis, finding connections to the collective body’s movements of divestment and restoration. Taking place in the interplay between our inner and outer watersheds, the show follows Grover the beaver trying to deconstruct the megadam that his ancestors built after being infected by a spell called Disconnectitus.
He’s joined by the wise vulture Granny V, the shameful ostrich Shameus, Cancerroach, and the Flock, who all accompany him to di-vest his vest of armor and find a balanced role in restoration.
The show is interactive in body movements and soundscape, inviting us all to participate in undamming (and beaver-damming) the flow in our bodies, economies and ecologies.
Premiered 2024 in Huichin, Ohlone Lands - Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park
