From primal spaces, to final spaces, and places in between, Jonathan transforms and transports himself and the audience through this theatrically new “performemoirt” piece.

Performance.

Memoir.

Art.

BAGABONES presents the deaths and reincarnations of a man through a single life journey: the business man, the transcendent, the academic, the street performer, and the ascendant spirit.

The multiple roles are played by Nosan and four ordinary objects: a six foot tall wood cubicle, a desk, a small coffin, and a ceramic vessel.  Just like his own body, the objects are manipulated from one reality to another as perspectives constantly alter--extreme pain turns to ecstatic pleasure, confinements bring escape, heaven mingles with hell.

Each scene incorporates the ceramic forms which Nosan creates per show, and each life scene results in a visual and tonal flatlining--destruction brings creation and beginnings result from an end.
