Stretch Marks
+=!? Remix a fetal heartbeat and bust an amniotic flow. Streeetch Marks is about being born, the circumstances of our birth, what we are born into, and the legacies we inherit. This is a play that jams not on the ancient Greek philosopher's favorite cerebral cipher, "What is the meaning of life?", but instead politics, "What does it mean to be alive?"
