Moore College and Wilma Theater Collaborate for Scorched
An interactive installation by six fine arts students from Moore College of Art & Design, the nation’s first and only women’s art college, opened at the Wilma Theater in conjunction with the East Coast premiere of Scorched. It is Wajdi Mouawad’s acclaimed play reacting to civil, ethnic and religious conflict.
Both the installation of video, audio and other visual arts and the production opened March 4 and closes this weekend, March 29th. The participating artists include Moore juniors Amanda Moore, Jamie Moore, Chloe Muxart, Dana Osburn, Emma Pouncey and Rosie Raizen.
In the Scorched production, twins Janine and Simon receive a surprising request in their late mother’s will: to deliver letters to a father they thought was dead and a brother they never knew existed. The requests lead them on a journey to the heart of their mother’s war-ravaged Middle Eastern homeland.
