Following the critically acclaimed, Obie Award-winning first installment of Jay Scheib's performance trilogy Simulated Cities/Simulated Systems, The Kitchen presents the world premiere of part two, Bellona, Destroyer of Cities, a new theater work based on Samuel R. Delany’s celebrated science fiction novel Dhalgren. Scheib combines passages from the novel with original material, movement sequences, and live video to trace several intertwining plotlines driven by a group of characters with shifting identities. Set in a city after a cataclysmic event, Bellona, Destroyer of Cities draws on the labyrinthine world imagined by Delany to express the intricate and at times abstract delineations of race, gender, and sexuality today.
