Architecting May 15, 2008

The TEAM (Theater of the Emerging Moment ) presents its newest work-in-process 'Architecting.' Told in four chapters, 'Architecting' weaves through this nation's past and future to create a requiem for modern America. This multimedia time-bending epic about the reconstruction of nations and selves begins with Henry Adams, the brilliant, narcissistic and hysterical scion of two Presidents. Equipped with an 18th-century education, Adams awakens to find himself required to play the game of the twentieth century. We then travel to Margaret Mitchell's Atlanta, and the landscape of her sweeping and politically alarming novel 'Gone With the Wind.' A road-trip taken by the two loneliest people in Arkansas transports us to the Miss Scarlett O'Hara pageant, where worlds collide in an explosion of history and guilt. When the smoke clears, we are in the future: a young messianic architect, trailed by a boy with a Dr. Pepper, envisions a new American cathedral.
