WE REMAIN PREPARED
A new piece inspired by and performed throughout an old space. Past turbines, amid boilers and valves, we follow Kimmel, Powell, and Gray—the three workers left behind to keep the motors running. Loyalists to the Gilbreth system of efficiency, they pledge to maintain a constant state of readiness for as long as they are needed. And then a year goes by. And a decade. A century. And maybe twenty centuries more. And when the world outside has finally faded from memory, Kimmel and Powell and Gray begin building their own worlds—civil engineers in the making. But what will happen when the old world comes crashing back in? Will their new cities survive the shock?
