A Senior Theater Capstone Project by Will Blumberg '22.
While taking care of a sick friend in their Brooklyn apartment, Mim starts experiencing what can only be described as divine back pain…
Stuck in the past—somewhere between the beginning and the end—Mim untangles their childhood, desperate to understand how a family history of anxiety and grief has brought them to the present. As the pain continues, Mim faces a reckoning about their identity and the tense relationship with their family.
At its core, this story explores how individuals balance personal identities against the continuation of familial and religious traditions. Together we ask: How can we be One in a line of Many?
See the Nothing Comes to Mim map and directions document for more information.
