In the opening moments of The Elementary Spacetime Show we see a young girl, Alameda, attempting to take her own life. She is drawn into a tunnel which deposits her into a liminal void somewhere in between life and death. Alameda is faced with an awkward challenge: in order to die she must play and win a game show. The girl clashes with a depressed mosquito, confronts her doppelgänger’s self-loathing, and adopts a piece of rhubarb as a confidante. Things only get stranger from there. Across the unfolding drama, a queer kinship builds between the unlikely friends she meets in limbo. The Elementary Spacetime Show is a touching and surreal new musical by Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer and lyricist César Alvarez with a book by Alvarez and Emily Orling that offers possible answers about why to exist, even when you feel alone. Playbill says that Elementary Spacetime "bends the rules of space and time to grapple with suicide and the stigma tethered to it." Following productions at Ars Nova, Joe's Pub, and Playwrights Horizons, Alvarez and Orling's work makes its Lincoln Center debut at this fully sung concert production.
