CATO (Remixed)
May 1 - 18 @ Carpenter's Hall

Picture
The Philadelphia Artists' Collective returns to site-specific work as they present a world premiere adaptation of CATO (Remixed) in the historically significant location of Carpenters’ Hall. 

Barrymore Award Winning Playwright Eli Lynn (The PAC's Citrus Andronicus) adapts Joseph Addison’s original text, exploring the similarities between the tumultuous political landscape of Ancient Rome, Revolutionary-era America, and our current divided nation. Written in 1712, Addison's play was frequently referenced by the Founding Fathers. The expressions “Give me liberty or give me death” and “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country”, are paraphrased from CATO. Staged in the room where the First Continental Congress convened, PAC's original adaptation of CATO explores how political rhetoric has evolved (or not) and explores how we construct our own mythology.

Lynn tears the play apart to investigate themes of interest to modern audiences, to give voice to the historically voiceless characters, and to dig into the history and rhetoric of Cato, challenging people to consider who we pedestal and why, and whether those "pillars" are actually load-bearing.
