HERE TOWN

​

by Valley Traction

​

​

​

an adaptation and distillation of Act III of Our Town 
into a mixed media window display

​

HERE TOWN is a multi-media installation that takes place in the storefront of the Carlisle Theater.  Split across two windows, the piece is made up of found objects and screens which show textual narration in addition to people and places from around Carlisle, PA.  Inspired by Act 3 of Our Town,

HERE TOWN dramatizes the passage of time, the complex relationship between narration and perception, as well as the difference between what’s past and what’s history.
