9 WINDOWS

“9 Windows” is the first episode in a triptych theatrical work, in which nine episodic vignettes reveal a series of multimedia, live art paintings that depict the experience of being a displaced immigrant.

The triptych continued in 2006 with a work entitled “Open Door,” which addressed the impact of the many new immigrants who now make up New York City. “Room to Panic,” the final episode, depicts in movement and visual theater the experience of immigration to America.
