How do we make sense of the place(s) we live? What are the contortions we put ourselves through to justify ownership of places? What happens when the desire for expansion by some causes displacement for others? In Place, a modern-day oratorio, composer Ted Hearne brings personal questions of home and place-making in dialogue with a larger historical framework provided by spoken word artist Saul Williams. The two are joined in dialogue by moderator Brian Vines (BRIC TV’s Senior Correspondent) to explore how these questions manifest in Brooklyn, and how they are investigated in this season’s Next Wave Festival production of Place.
