and collaborators Bruce Barton (director), Richard Windeyer (sound design), Cameron
Davis (video design), Pil Hansen (dramaturge), and Laird MacDonald (lighting
design) weave a story combining historical and fictional events, images, and
sounds with the performer’s own memories of childhood. Entering a blue velvet
room, the audience descends into the pool of memory and a collision between
personal recollection and the ubiquitous power of media.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i>Swimmer
