Actress Irena Sofia Lucio, from The Civilians, performs a theatre piece about the space between life and death.

The Civilians is the first-ever theater company in residence at The Met. The company’s mission: creating new theater from creative investigations into the most vital questions of the present; advancing theater as an engine of artistic innovation; and strengthening the connections between theater and society. Since its founding in 2001, the Obie Award-winning company has performed at numerous venues including the Public Theater, Vineyard Theatre, BAM Next Wave Festival, Barrow Street Theater, Playwrights Horizons, and the TED Conference. At the Met Museum, The Civilians created theater works for and performed in the Petrie Court, The Temple of Dendur in The Sackler Wing, and the Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
