The Grim Arithmetic of Water (2004)

Premiered at Cowell Theater, San Francisco, in January, 2004

Choreography by Jo Kreiter
Music by Jewlia Eisenberg
Set Design by David Fredrickson

I am struck by the urgencies of water-its scarcity, its depletion, its contamination, and our inescapable need for it. Beyond militarism and occupation, I feel called to what one World Bank expert has named "The Grim Arithmetic of Water." For this evening length performance, we have researched bucket pumps, privatization, salting of the soil, poisoned rivers and evaporating streams. Within this tumultuous web, we have tried to locate the human body. We have tried to distill the complexity of water politics into a singular, recognizable human experience. We have opened ourselves to states of thirst and deprivation that are, in the end, an unnecessary result of water's misuse
