Control Group is Yale University’s only undergraduate experimental theater ensemble. The group is comprised of actors, architects, painters, writers, musicians, dancers, and more, and they make work across these disciplines. Through a collaborative, devising-based rehearsal process, Control Group presents one or more original works throughout the academic year.

For this piece, Control Group is interrogating the idea of the archive: personal, physical, institutional, and collective. What are the objects, fragments, words, and music that make up a person’s own archive? Or that of a group? With an eye towards the past, present, and future, Control Group’s show will be in dialogue with the historic building that the Ely Center occupies, as they create an original, interactive performance installation in and among the rooms of the gallery.
