Parched: Stories about Water, Pollution and Theft
directed by Katrina Dion
After conducting 100 interviews, Free Street’s youth ensemble, under the direction of Katrina Dion, created “Parched.” Using poetry, dance, personal narrative and pop culture references, this play exposes injustices, while reflecting on the beauty and power of water. The play poses the questions, “When did water become a privilege?” and “Is Chicago the next Flint?”
