The production is created by the ensemble, in collaboration with playwrights Damen Scranton and Laura Wickens, and conceived of, directed and choreographed by Jessica Burr.

A surgeon finds her heart, a painter exposes the raw humanity of his models, love is found in corners, and siblings chase the moon across space and time. Body Unredacted digs into flesh, organs, bones, into the art, science and lived experience of the human body. The show traces journeys of undying love, prophesy, belonging, and all the scars and inconceivably beautiful things that lie beneath.

The cast includes Jeanette Bednar, Hilary Brown-Istrefi, Gagarin, Jonathon Qualls, Rachael Richman and Can M. Yasar.

The production team includes Shawn Young (Set & Light Design), Beth Lake (Sound Design), Sera Bourgeau (Costume Design), Jackie McCarthy (Intimacy Coordinator), Jenn Allen (Dramaturg & Creative Producer), Lauren Pick (Stage Manager) and Rebecca Whitney Klein (Creative Producer).

Performances run Sat 5/9 at 7:30pm, Sun 5/10 at 5pm, Mon 5/11 at 7:30pm, Thu 5/14 at 7:30pm, Sat 5/16 at 7:30pm and Sun 5/17 at 5pm at The Makers’ Space, located at 281 North 7th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
