THE COMPLEX WHOLE SO FORMED is an epic feat of solo tech-theater storytelling.
A sweeping transformation of space filmed, scored, and mixed live by designer-performer Ryn Hardiman.
Simultaneously ‘onstage’ and ‘in the booth,’ Ryn wrangles their custom audio-visual synthesizer to navigate their experience pursuing gender-affirming top surgery in the American healthcare labyrinth. This is our most technically ambitious production ever: a glitched-out, synthesized transcendence of the systems that shape our lives.
After over 5,000 plays in the Neo booth, Ryn Hardiman brings their unique insights and expertise to this urgent true story of authenticity and survival.
