Emotion/Truth tells a story of coming of age as an American during the forever war, inside the heart of the empire, and hurtling full-speed toward fascism and climate collapse. Collaged together verbatim from interviews with thirteen teens and twenty-somethings, common threads emerge in the most mundane experiences - job interviews, getting ready for a night out - as well as in the gooey unknowns of our consciousness. It's weird out here, and we need to know it's weird for you, too.
Emotion/Truth is a delicate, absurd, and occasionally surreal portrait of an unstable generation as they try to find meaning, love, and joy at the edge of the end of the world. Join us for the search.

Double Sag Collective is Fee Pelz-Sharpe and Zoe Nadig’s performance/art project. Their work explores love, sustenance, abundance, place and meaning in the context of American empire and collapse. Their projects are multi-disciplinary inquiries into sensory experience, movement, and expression that experiment with narrative, theatrical form, and the position of the witness. Their influences and inspirations are wide ranging, but include archives and oral history, indigenous environmental studies, and pop culture.
Zoe - she/her - is based in Providence, Rhode Island. She is a graduate of Smith College, and Bard College at Simon’s Rock, the National Theater Institute, and Shakespeare & Company’s Summer Conservatory. She occasionally plays music under the name thirdwife. She is interested in documentary and verbatim theater as archive, touching dirt, and hanging out with her beautiful cool wife.
Fee - they/she/he - is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are a graduate of Smith College and Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings, and a current graduate student at Temple University. They are a poet, essayist, and mediocre (but enthusiastic) rock climber, collage artist, and cat parent.
