Banana Musik

Common Ground Arts Prairie Mainstage Series

“BANANA MUSIK. The name my Dad gave his original music, recorded on his 8-track in our basement -that name, that spelling with a clean, precise, bamboo font from a mechanical pencil on the spine of dozens of cassette tapes neatly packed in a leatherette case.”

In this memory play about aging, reciprocity and care, 50-year-old “immigrant kid” Kris gives you a tour of her childhood home – the sights, sounds, smells – to meet her parents, while she takes inventory of ALL their stuff, trying to get to know them better in real time.

Created and Performed by Kris, Jim, and Susan Alvarez

Accessible Performances ASL Intepretation will be available for the performances on September 19 and 26.
