Restless  NYC

About 

Restless excavates the theatrical and literary record as a source for contemporary performance - to engage the past in a dialogue about its life in the present. Founder and director Mallory Catlett brings a disruptive energy to the “canon” and finds inspiration in experimental literature to challenge theatrical convention and expand what the theater can contain. The dismantling and re-purposing of stories that have already been told is a practice in transformation; an attempt to create openings, to find a way out, and forward.
