Annie Saunders & Becca Wolff: Our Country @ On the Boards (Seattle – Lower Queen Anne)

From Ancient Greece to the wild American frontier, Our Country brings origin myths down to earth in an intimate portrait of a complex sibling relationship. Inspired by Sophocles’ Antigone, artist Annie Saunders sets off on an autobiographical journey, using recreations of recorded conversations with her outlaw brother. The past unfurls, enveloping them and the audience. Inside this shape-shifting space, the two face each other at their most primal. Our Country excavates the past to rethink the present, recalling a time when we were young – as individuals, as a nation, as a democratic system. How far have we really come?
