Theater In Quarantine, 2021

Theater in Quarantine is an Obie and Drama League Award-winning performance laboratory dedicated to the exploration of the live theatrical experience in the digital space. Established in response to the pandemic, TiQ has developed and live-streamed dozens of visually distinctive, original works, working out of a closet in the East Village. Erin and Karen Olivo (KO) built a piece exploring the confines of the idea of femininity, proposing a question about whether there is a way to break free of the male gaze on the female body.
