| Event Description |
Join us this season to experience a time, nearly two hundred years ago, with Nancy York, a pioneer ancestor long forgotten until now. In an intimate site-specific performance at Space 4 Art, memories are constructed as living dreams from a different time and place – an older, weirder America. The Desperate Characters of Mercer County incorporates sculptural manipulation, an Americana house band, and story telling both fabricated and true. Guests will be welcomed by Ben and Nancy as they serve up their small slice of the old America, alive again to tell it. Their story begins and ends in Mercer County, Missouri, where their civilized ways were lost to the dirt, where deep roots were laid and where redemption could be found in the baptismal waters along Thompson's River amongst the desperate characters – card players, moonshiners, and horse thieves.
