Part theater, installation, and social landscape, BUILDING presents a series of interconnected stories and monologues performed by an ensemble cast including Florencia Lozano, Kathrine Narducci, Joe Perrino, Vincent Piazza, and Julia Randall, inspired by the labor, humor, tensions, and ambitions surrounding one of the city’s most consequential civic projects. Audiences are invited to move through a living environment populated by crane operators, office managers, food vendors, security guards, developers, and other workers whose lives became intertwined with the rise of the Twin Towers. Combining archival material, spatial audio, live environmental effects, and cinematic storytelling, BUILDING operates simultaneously as theater, installation, and social landscape. Rather than reconstructing the World Trade Center itself, the work considers the labor, contradictions, aspirations, and emotional residue embedded within its creation.
