Metabolic Studio IOU Theatre will present
“Man Against the Mountain” (1947), a
lost radio play that was discovered in the
archives of the Eastern California Museum.
The play, which documents how the people
of Lone Pine, CA built the Mt. Whitney
trail, will incorporate Lone Pine, Littlerock
and Sun Village residents performing
station break announcements that draw
parallels between the Owens Valley and
the Antelope Valley. Free dinner and
community discussion about environmental
and cultural issues relevant to both areas
will follow the performance.
Lauren Bon’s Metabolic Studio
takes a multidisciplinary approach
to developing new tools for urban
living and city planning. Since
2005 it has focused primarily on
land and water use in the city of
Los Angeles and by extension
in the Intermountain West. It is
divided into three separate areas
of practice: optics, sonics, and “a
mano” (handmade).
