“Contagion is a presentation that revisits an earlier performance based on the reading of a sensationalist script. It explores different ways emotions multiply within groups, the contagious power of caricature, and that almost magical quality of orality to conjure images in the mind. Following a somewhat diffuse biographical trail, the piece interweaves its own history with a precise moment in Roberto Jacoby’s life.”
