by Joanne Akalaitis (Author)
JoAnne Akalaitis' exploration of America as an immigrant and refugee society is complex, timely, and highly theatrical: a collage of images and events, documentry and testimony, that asks us to look again at the pressures and liberties of life in a foreign culture.
GREEN CARD both describes and creates, for perfomers as well as audiences, the cacophony of sounds, and barrage of images that confront those newly-arrived in this land. The play moves from Ellis Island to Los Angeles, a city many consider a contemporary Ellis Island.
