PASSAGES & CROSSINGS: JOURNEYS BEYOND THE BORDER
The Space Inside
By Bonnie Eckard & Maria Porter
Directed by Bonnie Eckard
An original performance piece that explores one patient’s experience as she approaches death. The one-woman performance confronts the disparity in the death experiences between current medical practices, dominated by technology, and the preservation of the humanity of the patient and her loved ones.

A featured performance of The First Annual Long Island Fringe Festival, the show is partnered with a work demonstration showcasing how research and theater practices come together to create performance. Through excerpts from the actual performance and demonstrations of techniques used to make the piece, the creators will give a ‘backstage’ view of how original work is created.

A campy, contemporary horror show/rock musical, based on tabloid headlines from The Weekly World News about a creature that is half-boy, half-bat, who is found living in a cave. Featuring 17 performers, the show is surreal, but contains serious over-arching themes such as hypocrisy, scapegoating, and acceptance/tolerance. The story follows Batboy through his struggle to find his place in the world, and the miraculous, maddening love he finds along the way.
