When the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse finally arrive, they make their entrance on a late night talk show. Cursed with their presence, the host must figure out what life becomes when everyone’s end is lurking just over his shoulder. How to Live at the End of the World, conceived and created by senior Orion Lopez-Ramirez, is a darkly comedic performance lecture, discussing topics ranging from dimensions of power, engineered addictions, moral responsibility, and free will.
Content Advisory: This play discusses heavy political and social concepts.
This project is supported in part by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ partnership with the IV Fund, which supports student independent work that explores mental well-being and mental health and gives campus audiences a chance to grapple with these matters in generative and generous ways.
Talkback Event
A talkback discussion with award-winning playwright and 2022-23 Princeton Hodder Fellow Virginia Grise, who was an advisor on the project, and Orion Lopez-Ramirez will follow the September 26 performance, moderated by Senior Lecturer in Theater Elena Araoz.
