How would you feel about moving to Mars? knowing that you might not be coming back? Ever. Through a documentary style cinema-vérité approach, Untitled Mars puts the scientists who are working to make life on the Red Planet a reality, side by side with some of the science fictions that have captured our imagination for over a century. It's Science vs. Fiction in this new work for six performers and a duct-taped-together simulated Martian environment—a story about the processes leading up to putting human life on Mars—and the schizophrenic pseudo-reality of what happens once we're there...

Untitled Mars (this title may change) is a work-in-progress performance presented by the MIT Theater Arts Department. With Bianca Farrell, Sean Faulk, Jack Hill, Zahra Khan, Jonas Kubilius, Sophie Monahan, and C.S. Wong, with scenic design from Sarah Gumlak, dramaturgy by Hui Ying Wen and Lisa Messeri, and interviews with Zahra Kahn and Friends, with production support by Maura Courdial and MIT Dramashop, directed by Jay Scheib
