Kairos'
About the project
Lisa Sanyae Dring, playwright; Alessandrea Gutierrez and Allen Weaver, casting assocs.;
Casting Equity actors for roles in "Kairos." Asian, Pacific Islander, South Asian, and BIPOC performers are encouraged to audition. Synopsis: Originally developed in the Geffen Writers' Room and World premiering at the Know Theatre of Cincinnati. "Kairos" is the story of two people falling in love during a tectonic shift in society. Their nascent relationship is tested by the advent of Prometheus, a procedure that grants immortality to a select few. What happens to commitment, meaning and care when linear time breaks open? At once both a dystopian science-fiction play and a dark-comedy love story, 'Kairos' is a deeply sensitive investigation of two humans whose ideal “happily-ever-after” is terrifyingly outpaced by relentless technological and societal upheaval.
