What happens when there’s a knock on the door Nora slammed 15 years ago? Having left behind her domestic “prison” to become an independent self-actualized woman, Nora is now forced to return in order to finish what she started. Lucas Hnath's A Doll’s House, Part 2 stays true to the characters Ibsen created while contemporaneously investigating the meaning and underlying impulses behind Nora’s slammed door.

This workshop takes inspiration from Ashon Crawley's Lonely Letters and loss.nothing.memorial. Respectively, these works explore collectivity, loneliness, mourning and celebration. Altars Made, Altars Unmade sustains these themes, even as it embraces "sense experience." How can altar-making, as an embodied activity, rather than an empty routine or an amplification of dogma, provide a remedy to the numbness characterizing much of our present day?
