“I thought—I want to go home. I want to be in a place that feels like home. Where that was, I did not know.”
Katie Kitamura, Intimacies
tags: home

“It is surprisingly easy to forget what you have witnesses, the horrifying image or the voice speaking the unspeakable, in order to exist in the world we must and we do forget, we live in a state of I know but I do not know.”
Katie Kitamura, Intimacies

“There are always two stories taking place at once, the narrative inside the play and the narrative around it, and the boundary between the two is more porous than you might think, that is both the danger and the excitement of the performance.”
Katie Kitamura, Audition
