The White Album – Performance at CAP UCLA

The White Album is a multimedia performance inspired by Joan Didion’s seminal essay of the same name. The famed opening line of the essay — “We tell ourselves stories in order to live” — is the starting point for a piece of theater in which Obie Award-winning actress Mia Barron delivers the essay in its entirety, while behind her a parallel performance unfolds, bringing together storytelling, audience participation, choreography and architecture. This genre-defying new work takes place live at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA.

Performances April 5, 8 p.m.; April 6, 3 and 8 p.m. ; April 7, 7 p.m.
