SCENIC DESIGN for
the DIVINE RIOT and HEALING TREE’s workshop production in NYC at the ABRONS ART CENTER UNDERGROUND THEATER
WRITTEN BY REN DARA SANTIAGO
DIRECTED BY MACK BROWN
SETS BY JOSH OBERLANDER
LIGHTS BY HUNTER LUSTBERG
COSTUMES BY HAHNJI JANG
VIDEO BY ZAVIER AUGUSTUS LEE TAYLOR
SOUND BY JOYCE CIESIL
The Big Bad begins after Ash, the youngest of three adult foster siblings, has a mental health crisis and their family reunites in the Queens row house that shaped them all. As Ash uses their background in video game building to mire through layers of memory and myth, a battle ensues to overcome their soul-family’s unresolved wounds. The Big Bad explores intergenerational trauma, deprogramming and the supernatural—and asks the timely question, “What drives us to keep moving through despair?”
