1395 East President's Circle, Kingsbury Hall - University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT"Gordon and Quillen balance humor and sorrow to tell us a wonderfully paced, colorful story that doesn’t feel devastating or superficial.” – Arizona Daily StarTheater artist Ain Gordon and percussionist Josh Quillen’s moving new work blurs the lines between concert, theater, and memoir.Inspired by Quillen’s family story, Relics and Their Humans journeys to his hometown of Dover, Ohio and explores the years following his father’s ALS diagnosis. Through a recorded interview, a personal journal, and an unexpected playlist, the performance pieces together a deeply personal portrait of family, resilience, and love.At the heart of the work is an unforgettable tribute to Quillen’s mother, whose humor, strength, and unwavering devotion illuminate every moment. Combining live music, storytelling, and inventive theatrical design, Gordon and Quillen transform intimate family history into a powerful shared experience. With inventive dramaturgy by Talvin Wilks and evocative lighting by Jennifer Tipton, Relics and Their Humans delivers a richly theatrical encounter. The result is both precise and expansive, offering audiences space to reflect on memory, loss, and the objects that carry us through both.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
