Here I Am: a triptych of tour-de-force performances
The season continues with a first for Theater J, a series of new one-person plays. The three one-person performances explore a Covid-era comic-tragedy, a soul-searching quest, and a journey for a birth mother.
A mother-daughter relationship unfolds in award-winning comedian/actor Iris Bahr’s new autobiographical work. Despite the distance, a mother in Israel and daughter in Los Angeles connect via WhatsApp video daily. When the mother is confronted with an emergency, Iris must navigate the life-and-death situation through a screen. Days later, Iris finds herself relocating across the globe overnight to parent her parent.
Straddling cultures, generations, and an ocean, See You Tomorrow is a surprising, funny, and poignant story about family, caregiving, guilt and what happens when memory and one’s history dissolves in an instant.
Directed & Performed by Iris Bahr
