Accompanied by a live sound score and shadow puppetry, Apartment explores the ironic isolation and solace found in overcrowded urban spaces. Inspired by the 2003 blackout in NYC, five people live alone in separate apartments, just inches apart from each other in the same crowded high-rise. As we visit each apartment, the sounds and sights of each character’s world overlap in a cacophonous visual and aural landscape. When a wrench gets thrown into their daily routines, the neighbors get to know each other whether they like it or not.
