Brother Islands (Places to Lose People)

New quarterly performance series MIXER introduces itself via a dark slice of forgotten New York. Through an expanded documentary study created by Benton-C Bainbridge, audiences are taken on a tour of an abandoned South Bronx island — once home to New York's harshest quarantines and legendary disaster victims — that is now slowly deteriorating, returning to its natural origins, and slipping out of the collective consciousness. Through audio and visual recordings, stereographic photography, and theatre, the performance troupe take us into a world from which most never return.
