Each month, 136 people die of an opioid overdose in Massachusetts. Close to 300,000 people in the state are prescribed opioids. These numbers ripple exponentially through our families and communities. What does it mean to live within an epidemic? How do we go on living?
The Way We Live Now (2018) invites open, public conversation about our shared experiences in and around the opioid epidemic. We will engage with our stories using Susan Sontag’s masterful artist/activist text: The Way We Live Now, written during the AIDS epidemic. Inspired by the legacy of courageous action in the face of overwhelming loss, we seek to learn from our foremothers, updating and performing this text to reflect our current crisis. Join us in coming together to end the silence that leads to death.
